man_n out_o of_o his_o right_a way_n and_o make_v he_o wander_v from_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o that_o will_v have_v fellowship_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n be_v exhort_v to_o turn_v from_o his_o

to_o the_o devil_n from_o life_n to_o death_n from_o heaven_n to_o hell_n therefore_o though_o it_o sometime_o bring_v honey_n with_o it_o in_o the_o mouth_n like_o a_o bee_n yet_o it_o never_o be_v

you_o that_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o a_o man_n only_o to_o search_v and_o try_v his_o way_n but_o he_o must_v also_o turn_v from_o they_o if_o he_o find_v they_o wrong_v and_o serious_o repent_v himself_o of_o they_o for_o therefore_o we_o search_v and_o try_v they_o that_o discern_v they_o to_o be_v evil_a we_o may_v forsake_v they_o the_o end_n of_o fish_v be_v not_o angle_v but_o

and_o and_o return_n to_o god_n therefore_o when_o the_o wise_a man_n have_v say_v 27._o ponder_v the_o path_n of_o thy_o foot_n he_o add_v immediate_o and_o let_v all_o thy_o way_n be_v order_v
