man_n of_o year_n who_o if_o they_o have_v contrite_a and_o humble_a heart_n be_v little_a one_o believe_v in_o christ._n again_o child_n after_o some_o year_n by_o good_a education_n and_o

because_o in_o these_o time_n the_o devil_n have_v reviue_v the_o heresy_n of_o the_o former_a age_n the_o three_o fruit_n be_v apostasy_n and_o that_o be_v when_o man_n change_v their_o faith_n and_o
