instruction_n if_o you_o mark_v well_o these_o thing_n that_o sathan_n urge_v unto_o christ_n before_o this_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v of_o a_o other_o kind_n namely_o to_o concern_v

so_o the_o name_n wherewith_o he_o be_v here_o term_v do_v signify_v in_o the_o original_a tongue_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v a_o false_a accuser_n or_o a_o carp_a disgracer_n that_o seek_v
