they_o wax_v more_o negligent_a than_o they_o be_v before_o great_o dishonour_v god_n by_o their_o unthankfulnes_n and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o only_a fault_n of_o man_n if_o he_o be_v not_o help_v by_o his_o wife_n to_o grow_v in_o godliness_n for_o i_o think_v that_o even_o euah_n in_o note_n moan_v her_o husband_n adam_n to_o eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n have_v be_v a_o helper_n unto_o

the_o force_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o corruption_n of_o mankind_n come_v into_o the_o world_n by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o man_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v rome_n 5._o as_o by_o one_o man_n

of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o and_o in_o the_o 3._o of_o genesis_n we_o read_v that_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o
