of_o his_o subject_n and_o how_o zealous_o do_v he_o establish_v religion_n in_o its_o purity_n how_o exemplary_a be_v his_o life_n and_o how_o unblamable_a his_o conversation_n well_o may_v he_o

of_o it_o for_o that_o be_v to_o frustrate_v his_o own_o intention_n and_o consequent_o to_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o himself_o that_o be_v to_o make_v the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n to_o rejoice_v
