22._o 31._o wheat_n be_v not_o winnow_v without_o much_o move_a and_o shake_v now_o a_o christian_a be_v to_o stand_v fast_o against_o satan_n to_o resist_v he_o steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n to_o

live_v above_o with_o god_n and_o in_o god_n he_o have_v satan_n under_o his_o foot_n though_o he_o cast_v his_o fiery_a dart_n at_o he_o yet_o they_o be_v all_o quench_v and_o hurt_v he_o not_o but_o when_o he_o come_v from_o his_o foundation_n and_o parley_n with_o he_o and_o consent_n to_o his_o suggestion_n then_o be_v he_o wound_v by_o he_o the_o devil_n can_v not_o touch_v christ_n because_o
