this_o word_n pure_a be_v set_v in_o opposition_n to_o that_o which_o be_v hurtful_a and_o destructive_a i_o be_o pure_a from_o the_o blood_n of_o all_o man_n that_o be_v i_o have_v hurt_v no_o body_n

true_o there_o be_v man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o abuse_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o some_o be_v say_v to_o turn_v it_o into_o wantonness_n and_o into_o lasciviousness_n but_o 4._o this_o be_v

while_o his_o heart_n be_v yoid_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o holy_a principle_n of_o grace_n for_o such_o a_o man_n can_v do_v no_o other_o than_o abuse_v the_o grace_n of_o god._n alas_o what_o can_v be_v expect_v of_o he_o that_o have_v nothing_o in_o he_o to_o teach_v he_o to_o manage_v that_o knowledge_n of_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v but_o his_o flesh_n his_o lust_n and_o lustful_a passion_n

will_v serve_v to_o cherish_v sin_n what_o judas_n do_v with_o christ_n that_o a_o graceless_a man_n will_v do_v with_o grace_n even_o make_v it_o a_o stalk_a horse_n to_o his_o fleshly_a and_o vile_a
