when_o they_o think_v they_o walk_v right_a many_o sin_n when_o they_o think_v they_o do_v no_o harm_n the_o prince_n of_o pharaoh_n think_v it_o be_v no_o hurt_n to_o commend_v sarah_n unto_o their_o

as_o man_n follow_v their_o calling_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o hurt_n in_o they_o although_o they_o spend_v too_o much_o time_n therein_o yea_o be_v thereby_o often_o move_v unto_o anger_n and_o oath_n and_o therefore_o see_v it_o be_v so_o usual_a for_o man_n to_o sin_n when_o they_o think_v they_o sin_v not_o we_o shall_v not_o rely_v too_o much_o upon_o our_o own_o opinion_n and_o ii_o satan_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o see_v our_o error_n until_o we_o be_v go_v so_o far_o that_o we_o can_v return_v as_o the_o bullet_n out_o of_o the_o piece_n kill_v before_o the_o crack_n
