that_o this_o kind_n speak_v of_o such_o devil_n as_o have_v get_v possession_n of_o man_n body_n lord_n the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n in_o his_o late_a sermon_n before_o the_o house_n of_o

of_o this_o kingdom_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v quell_v easy_o or_o drive_v out_o from_o hence_o but_o by_o the_o most_o serious_a humiliation_n and_o by_o the_o most_o fervent_a prayer_n and_o

to_o heart_n what_o great_a need_n we_o have_v now_o more_o than_o ever_o to_o be_v constant_a at_o church_n and_o devout_a at_o our_o prayer_n and_o from_o thence_o be_v persuade_v with_o one_o

think_v that_o when_o continual_a provocation_n be_v offer_v to_o he_o he_o will_v still_o connive_v at_o they_o and_o bear_v with_o they_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o when_o the_o blasphemy_n of_o the_o profane_a the_o sensuality_n of_o the_o voluptuous_a and_o the_o mockery_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n send_v up_o daily_a challenge_n to_o heaven_n this_o will_v not_o at_o last_o overcome_v god_n
