as_o the_o the_o crafty_a pirate_n do_v sometime_o hang_v out_o the_o same_o colour_n that_o the_o honest_a mariner_n do_v thereby_o to_o entrap_v he_o 4._o so_o satan_n will_v sometime_o transform_v

5._o 20._o another_o stratagem_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v to_o wound_v we_o with_o our_o own_o weapon_n even_o with_o our_o very_a grace_n as_o thus_o if_o he_o see_v some_o zealous_a and_o fervent_a in_o religion_n so_o that_o he_o can_v in_o no_o wise_n quench_v this_o fire_n than_o he_o will_v throw_v his_o gunpowder_n into_o it_o and_o under_o the_o colour_n of_o zeal_n bring_v they_o to_o
