the_o devil_n i_o have_v think_v this_o have_v be_v enough_o to_o drive_v thou_o out_o of_o thy_o wit_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o when_o god_n have_v leave_v thou_o to_o thy_o sin_n than_o

and_o reply_n the_o soul_n answer_v whatsoever_o god_n can_v or_o will_v do_v i_o know_v not_o yet_o so_o great_a be_v my_o sin_n that_o he_o can_v or_o at_o least_o will_v not_o do_v so_o much_o

so_o that_o sometime_o one_o man_n go_v to_o a_o halter_n another_o run_v out_o of_o his_o wit_n and_o another_o drown_v himself_o all_o this_o be_v horrible_a pride_n of_o heart_n why_o will_v you_o not_o bear_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o your_o sin_n be_v great_a and_o god_n wrath_n be_v heavy_a yet_o god_n will_v do_v you_o good_a by_o it_o and_o therefore_o be_v
