of_o wicked_a man_n he_o dwell_v also_o in_o they_o as_o well_o as_o sin_n for_o which_o he_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o arm_a man_n keep_v the_o house_n yet_o this_o be_v more_o extrinsical_a and_o from_o without_o the_o devil_n can_v not_o find_v a_o room_n ready_a sweep_v and_o garnish_v for_o he_o but_o because_o of_o this_o native_a pollution_n hence_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o in_o this_o

man_n in_o a_o more_o holy_a condition_n than_o paul_n they_o will_v thank_v god_n they_o have_v a_o good_a heart_n and_o all_o be_v quiet_a within_o they_o but_o this_o be_v not_o because_o

it_o be_v as_o a_o tyrant_n in_o they_o therefore_o the_o regenerate_a part_n make_v many_o opposition_n and_o great_a resistance_n there_o be_v pray_v watch_v and_o fast_v against_o it_o they_o be_v
