christ_n against_o the_o unjust_a accusation_n and_o blasphemy_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n there_o be_v a_o man_n bring_v unto_o christ_n that_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o devil_n that_o

the_o strength_n of_o the_o argument_n the_o sum_n of_o what_o they_o say_v be_v this_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o policy_n and_o subtlety_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o if_o satan_n

our_o saviour_n christ_n every_o kingdom_n divide_v against_o itself_o be_v bring_v to_o desolation_n and_o every_o city_n or_o house_n divide_v against_o itself_o shall_v not_o stand_v the_o word_n
