either_o to_o prevent_v we_o or_o preserve_v we_o he_o be_v in_o great_a danger_n who_o in_o any_o but_o of_o all_o in_o these_o potent_a tentation_n go_v by_o his_o own_o wit_n or_o reason_n or_o

to_o put_v all_o upon_o god_n who_o will_v work_v mighty_o in_o i_o and_o for_o i_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v with_o i_o 1_o he_o be_v all_o in_o all_o 20._o he_o will_v do_v all_o

propose_v and_o first_o for_o those_o tentation_n which_o be_v in_o thing_n of_o god_n then_o in_o thing_n of_o man_n for_o god_n we_o be_v much_o assault_v to_o atheism_n and_o blasphemy_n to_o atheism_n as_o the_o great_a sin_n that_o be_v in_o that_o it_o smite_v at_o the_o root_n of_o all_o for_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n all_o sin_n be_v from_o atheism_n for_o who_o will_v sin_n do_v he_o then_o very_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o see_v all_o and_o will_v punish_v all_o and_o such_o a_o god_n god_n must_v be_v or_o no_o god_n and_o to_o atheism_n for_o when_o we_o have_v sin_v sin_n do_v draw_v towards_o atheism_n exceed_o wipe_v out_o all_o notion_n of_o a_o deity_n as_o much_o as_o it_o can_v and_o when_o we_o be_v in_o sin_n we_o must_v be_v either_o willing_a to_o get_v out_o of_o it_o by_o repentance_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o turn_v atheist_n the_o best_a of_o our_o play_n then_o be_v to_o feed_v ourselves_o with_o a_o

by_o unbelief_n bear_v itself_o in_o hand_n 17._o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o hell_n to_o torment_v man_n in_o consider_v withal_o that_o satan_n do_v all_o he_o can_v to_o make_v man_n atheist_n because_o when_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n before_o man_n eye_n they_o will_v sin_v all_o manner_n of_o sin_n that_o the_o devil_n will_v have_v they_o sin_n so_o psal_n
