be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n or_o true_a interpretation_n of_o other_o scripture_n but_o that_o satan_n shall_v come_v bodily_a or_o assume_v a_o shape_n be_v not_o

whatsoever_o they_o be_v about_o they_o will_v look_v to_o the_o motion_n what_o warrant_v they_o have_v for_o it_o whence_o it_o be_v and_o whether_o it_o tend_v whether_o they_o be_v lead_v or_o
