think_v it_o the_o best_a condition_n to_o have_v liberty_n not_o to_o be_v tyrannize_v over_o by_o other_o slavery_n it_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o man_n nature_n without_o grace_n they_o account_v it_o a_o happiness_n to_o have_v their_o will_n over_o all_o other_o but_o the_o more_o liberty_n in_o this_o the_o more_o slavery_n why_o the_o more_o liberty_n that_o a_o man_n have_v to_o

to_o sin_n the_o more_o he_o be_v in_o bondage_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o become_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n therefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v pick_v out_o the_o wretchede_a man_n in_o the_o world_n
