the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o he_o in_o propound_v of_o the_o truth_n do_v it_o not_o for_o any_o love_n or_o like_n to_o it_o but_o that_o he_o may_v more_o easy_o deceive_v our_o saviour_n to_o

though_o the_o devil_n speak_v the_o truth_n 25._o and_o as_o paul_n do_v not_o suffer_v the_o devil_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o maid_n 18._o though_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v
