keep_v you_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o your_o enemy_n only_o i_o will_v content_v myself_o in_o speak_v but_o one_o word_n touch_v the_o same_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o only_o obtain_v and_o get_v victory_n of_o your_o enemy_n but_o also_o send_v they_o away_o with_o their_o mouth_n stop_v therefore_o i_o desire_v you_o in_o god_n name_n that_o you_o be_v not_o

for_o they_o wvere_v man_n as_o they_o but_o that_o they_o content_v themselves_o only_o with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o will_v not_o altogether_o deny_v or_o gainsay_v they_o in_o that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o reject_v thereby_o god_n and_o his_o gift_n by_o think_v to_o reject_v man_n and_o their_o doctrine_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v good_a heed_n unto_o man_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o themselves_o and_o also_o when_o god_n speak_v by_o they_o the_o same_o we_o may_v know_v when_o their_o doctrine_n be_v confirmable_a and_o agree_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o all_o right_a
