because_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v such_o that_o it_o most_o lust_v after_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v most_o forbid_v it_o how_o be_v it_o before_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n come_v

then_o we_o be_v the_o more_o greedy_a to_o spot_v and_o defile_v ourselves_o with_o the_o commit_n of_o they_o by_o which_o occasion_n sin_n take_v to_o himself_o strength_n and_o encouragement_n in_o we_o which_o before_o the_o come_n of_o the_o law_n lay_v and_o sleep_v &_o be_v as_o dead_a at_o which_o time_n i_o myself_o when_o i_o know_v not_o the_o law_n i_o lead_v my_o life_n like_o a_o
