because_o it_o have_v poison_v so_o many_o good_a thing_n yea_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o evil_n in_o the_o world_n for_o at_o the_o first_o god_n make_v every_o thing_n very_o good_a that_o must_v needs_o be_v bitter_a indeed_o which_o have_v embitter_v so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a sweet_n sin_n be_v the_o great_a troubler_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v it_o which_o make_v

the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n last_o as_o to_o information_n hence_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v very_o good_a exceed_v good_a for_o this_o be_v a_o better_a and_o
