by_o a_o interposition_n of_o a_o divine_a power_n we_o see_v that_o neither_o the_o consideration_n of_o reason_n nor_o of_o interest_n neither_o the_o sense_n of_o honour_n nor_o the_o

alone_o can_v cure_v it_o we_o must_v all_o consider_v that_o such_o a_o evil_a spirit_n prevail_v among_o we_o at_o such_o a_o time_n be_v a_o plain_a indication_n of_o god_n anger_n that_o be_v
