with_o natural_a philosophy_n in_o this_o point_n nor_o show_v you_o by_o aristotle_n rule_n how_o you_o shall_v know_v this_o to_o be_v true_a because_o they_o that_o will_v give_v glory_n unto_o

to_o lust_n and_o to_o all_o other_o actual_a sin_n here_o take_v lust_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n and_o not_o for_o all_o gross_a sin_n in_o general_a as_o the_o word_n will_v afford_v i_o
