of_o its_o faculty_n and_o which_o tend_v to_o clog_v and_o encumber_v the_o body_n with_o disease_n we_o must_v renounce_v all_o these_o three_o source_n of_o evil_a the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o

to_o make_v the_o best_a improvement_n that_o we_o can_v of_o the_o mean_n of_o divine_a knowledge_n which_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n afford_v we_o that_o so_o we_o may_v gain_v as_o much_o of_o
