who_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o here_o as_o one_o impostor_n can_v be_v like_o another_o and_o in_o the_o process_n of_o this_o discourse_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o in_o particular_a what_o some_o of_o those_o delusion_n and_o lie_n be_v and_o how_o they_o resemble_v those_o which_o be_v broach_v in_o the_o beginning_n 1._o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o many_o people_n be_v lead_v away_o by_o strong_a delusion_n and_o believe_v that_o which_o be_v a_o manifest_a and_o notorious_a lie_n certain_o the_o history_n of_o mankind_n be_v a_o very_a great_a wonder_n that_o since_o truth_n

as_o long_o as_o thing_n go_v at_o this_o rate_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o i_o that_o all_o lewd_a and_o vicious_a people_n in_o the_o world_n do_v not_o throw_v themselves_o into_o the_o bosom_n
