other_o sin_n jerom_n luther_n magdeburgensis_n and_o oth●rs_n relate_v a_o story_n of_o a_o certain_a martyr_n that_o when_o the_o enemy_n can_v not_o threaten_v he_o out_o of_o his_o religion_n

you_o find_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o in_o these_o pain_n you_o will_v be_v lust_a after_o other_o evil_n god_n see_v what_o filthy_a vile_a lust_a heart_n you_o
