angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v unto_o you_o otherwise_o then_o that_o which_o we_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o let_v he_o be_v accurse_v thus_o we_o have_v hear_v what_o flatterer_n have_v be_v

unto_o we_o as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o lest_o we_o be_v carry_v away_o unto_o falsehood_n and_o become_v irreligious_a and_o profane_a embrace_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n which_o many_o time_n fall_v out_o among_o we_o for_o want_v of_o due_a care_n have_v over_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o for_o we_o to_o

stale_a away_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o father_n subject_n so_o these_o prince_n by_o their_o reverend_a behaviour_n steal_v away_o the_o heart_n of_o this_o king_n from_o his_o god_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o circumstance_n now_o follow_v the_o three_o circumstance_n in_o these_o word_n and_o the_o king_n hearken_v unto_o they_o which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o the_o holy_a
