ever_o again_o come_v over_o any_o of_o we_o as_o to_o call_v good_a evil_n or_o evil_a good_a to_o put_v light_n for_o darkness_n and_o darkness_n for_o light_n sweet_a for_o bitter_a or_o bitter_a for_o sweet_a for_o that_o come_v of_o darkness_n from_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o god_n of_o this_o world_n even_o the_o blindness_n that_o some_o be_v in_o who_o profess_v the_o light_n

they_o be_v not_o like_a to_o choose_v the_o good_a and_o refuse_v the_o evil_n and_o how_o be_v they_o like_v to_o obey_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n or_o walk_v in_o it_o that_o can_v clear_o or_o

so_o at_o this_o day_n although_o some_o be_v already_o turn_v aside_o from_o the_o light_n into_o great_a darkness_n and_o lose_v the_o sense_n of_o life_n have_v death_n over_o they_o and_o they_o

and_o for_o israel_n sake_n he_o cut_v rahab_n &_o wound_v the_o dragon_n &_o divide_v and_o make_v a_o way_n in_o the_o sea_n a_o good_a and_o safe_a passage_n for_o they_o in_o the_o journey_n
