if_o after_o this_o way_n have_v be_v so_o much_o curse_v of_o god_n unto_o they_o they_o shall_v again_o fall_v therein_o as_o the_o fault_n will_v be_v without_o excuse_n so_o it_o can_v but_o

such_o deliverance_n do_v again_o return_v to_o break_v his_o commandment_n by_o join_v with_o the_o people_n of_o these_o abomination_n and_o therefore_o we_o trust_v that_o such_o will_v take_v heed_n that_o they_o be_v not_o again_o deceive_v neither_o by_o the_o carnal_a counsel_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n from_o within_o nor_o by_o the_o fawn_n and_o flattery_n of_o these_o man_n from_o
