therefore_o in_o this_o brethren_n god_n be_v provident_a and_o merciful_a in_o regard_n the_o people_n who_o he_o have_v acquire_v to_o his_o belove_a shall_v believe_v in_o simplicity_n and_o he_o

it_o to_o wander_v with_o most_o lewd_a man_n and_o sinner_n for_o the_o trail_n be_v consummate_v as_o it_o be_v write_v as_o daniel_n say_v it_o be_v at_o hand_n for_o this_o cause_n do_v the_o

of_o god_n say_v let_v we_o resist_v all_o iniquity_n and_o hate_v it_o consider_v therefore_o the_o work_n of_o a_o evil_a life_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o separate_v yourselves_o as_o be_v justify_v but_o meet_v together_o in_o one_o to_o inquire_v what_o may_v be_v in_o common_a profitable_a and_o convenient_a for_o the_o belove_a for_o the_o scripture_n say_v 5._o woe_n to_o those_o who_o be_v
