be_v the_o sun_n and_o moon_n because_o they_o receive_v light_n from_o they_o next_o there_o be_v the_o devil_n they_o worship_v in_o various_a shape_v as_o they_o have_v tell_v i_o they_o see_v their_o valasa_n that_o be_v their_o great_a prophet_n sometime_o in_o a_o man_n shape_n sometime_o in_o a_o beast_n and_o other_o time_n in_o a_o bird_n shape_v there_o be_v a_o fish_n that_o they_o

i_o never_o can_v get_v they_o to_o comprehend_v it_o this_o way_n of_o swear_v they_o tell_v i_o have_v be_v ever_o with_o they_o i_o think_v it_o look_v something_o like_o abraham_n make_v of_o

wholesomeness_n of_o the_o country_n of_o darian_a there_o be_v other_o of_o they_o that_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n because_o i_o have_v see_v of_o their_o grave_n that_o have_v be_v accidental_o open_v and_o these_o of_o their_o friend_n have_v go_v and_o take_v all_o their_o bone_n and_o carry_v they_o home_o and_o put_v they_o in_o a_o place_n where_o that_o they_o will_v lie_v safe_a i_o have_v ask_v they_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o they_o will_v tell_v i_o that_o he_o will_v have_v occasion_n for_o they_o when_o he_o shall_v rise_v to_o go_v behind_o the_o great_a high-hill_n where_o all_o the_o brave_a and_o strong_a man_n go_v and_o these_o that_o be_v not_o brave_a and_o strong_a man_n when_o they_o rise_v they_o go_v to_o a_o dark_a cave_n and_o there_o neither_o hear_v nor_o see_v the_o brave_a singing_n and_o dance_v that_o they_o that_o go_v behind_o the_o high_a hill_n see_v hear_v and_o act_v also_o but_o shall_v stay_v in_o that_o place_n till_o one_o agga_n shall_v come_v and_o beat_v his_o bone_n to_o piece_n agga_n that_o be_v a_o evil_a or_o bad_a man_n their_o physician_n they_o call_v paggy_n play_v the_o rogue_n much_o with_o they_o for_o they_o know_v certain_a herb_n and_o gum_n that_o when_o they_o please_v to_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v sick_a in_o such_o a_o part_n of_o their_o body_n that_o they_o apply_v a_o blister_a plaster_n to_o it_o which_o immediate_o blister_v their_o flesh_n and_o as_o soon_o they_o will_v heal_v it_o by_o apply_v of_o a_o certain_a gumm_n of_o which_o there_o be_v
