which_o they_o either_o mean_v all_o those_o irregular_a sensual_a passion_n to_o which_o youth_n be_v so_o very_a subject_n of_o which_o anger_n be_v the_o most_o rage_a and_o impetuous_a and_o that_o which_o common_o betray_v and_o hurry_v they_o without_o great_a care_n into_o many_o evil_n and_o mischief_n or_o they_o mean_v indifferent_o any_o sin_n or_o vice_n by_o which_o they_o anger_v and_o provoke_v god_n and_o fall_v under_o his_o displeasure_n and_o the_o sad_a effect_n of_o it_o and_o put_v away_o evil_a from_o the_o flesh_n be_v a_o common_a expression_n in_o

that_o put_v away_o evil_a from_o the_o flesh_n must_v signify_v what_o the_o apostle_n mean_v by_o cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o the_o flesh_n 2_o cor._n 7.1_o i_o e._n free_v
