it_o avail_v not_o to_o strive_v this_o may_v be_v some_o apology_n for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v deceive_v but_o it_o fare_v with_o we_o no_o other_o way_n than_o it_o do_v with_o samson_n when_o his_o

of_o this_o precept_n of_o not_o be_v deceive_v for_o it_o can_v be_v but_o we_o shall_v be_v deceive_v in_o what_o we_o know_v not_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a precept_n the_o apostle_n know_v
