6._o when_o other_o mean_n fail_v christ_n can_v use_v violent_a remedy_n and_o by_o plague_n put_v sinner_n from_o their_o course_n yea_o when_o he_o come_v to_o reform_v he_o may_v see_v it_o just_a to_o smite_v the_o very_a creature_n for_o sinner_n cause_n so_o be_v we_o here_o teach_v in_o that_o by_o force_n be_v drive_v they_o all_o out_o of_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o sheep_n and_o the_o

power_n and_o terror_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n for_o when_o he_o have_v make_v a_o scourge_n of_o small_a cord_n more_o fit_a in_o appearance_n for_o affright_a child_n then_o for_o this_o work_n
