from_o whence_o then_o be_v the_o first_o materia_fw-la or_o matter_n of_o evil_n for_o reason_n give_v this_o judgement_n that_o there_o must_v needs_o have_v be_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n a_o will_v to_o generate_v the_o source_n or_o fountain_n of_o anger_n 34._o but_o now_o the_o scripture_n say_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o holy_a angel_n and_o further_o it_o say_v thou_o be_v not_o a_o

if_o it_o be_v not_o thus_o no_o sin_n will_v be_v sin_n impute_v to_o the_o devil_n nor_o man_n if_o they_o be_v not_o eternal_a and_o both_o in_o god_n and_o out_o of_o god_n himself_o 38._o for_o

and_o if_o you_o can_v believe_v this_o take_v the_o holy_a scripture_n before_o you_o which_o tell_v you_o that_o when_o man_n be_v fall_v into_o sin_n god_n send_v he_o his_o own_o heart_n life_n
