that_o adam_n have_v take_v on_o he_o a_o cold_a false_a love_n and_o therewith_o so_o show_v himself_o before_o god_n as_o if_o he_o be_v in_o peculiar_a dominion_n and_o will_n and_o moreover_o

for_o see_v mercury_n set_v the_o child_n of_o love_n before_o saturn_n and_o saturn_n can_v nor_o may_v not_o try_v it_o therefore_o he_o put_v upon_o it_o the_o purple-coloured_a garment_n with_o
