we_o defraud_v the_o good_a angel_n of_o god_n of_o their_o joy_n these_o irrevocable_a sinner_n these_o the_o lord_n do_v hate_v as_o utter_v enemy_n yea_o rot_a and_o stink_a carrion_n be_v more_o sweet_a before_o man_n than_o be_v such_o a_o soul_n before_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o therefore_o let_v all_o such_o repent_v not_o only_o because_o they_o be_v injurious_a to_o god_n and_o
