sin_n and_o it_o be_v well_o if_o this_o sin_n reach_v no_o far_o than_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n for_o indeed_o such_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o man_n apt_a and_o prone_a to_o devise_v

will_v prove_v to_o be_v little_o less_o than_o idolatry_n for_o as_o i_o will_v not_o reject_v that_o truth_n which_o the_o devil_n utter_v 5.7_o mat_n 5.7_o thou_o be_v jesus_n the_o son_n of_o
