soon_o do_v they_o or_o can_v they_o imagine_v that_o the_o devil_n will_v bewray_v any_o thing_n that_o shall_v do_v good_a will_v one_o devil_n do_v that_o which_o be_v to_o the_o hindrance_n of_o

through_o infidelity_n a_o man_n be_v sick_a his_o sickness_n do_v linger_v upon_o he_o some_o do_v put_v into_o his_o head_n that_o he_o be_v bewitch_v he_o be_v counsel_v to_o send_v unto_o a_o
