implacable_a unmerciful_a who_o know_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o they_o who_o commit_v such_o thing_n be_v worthy_a of_o death_n not_o only_o do_v the_o same_o but_o have_v pleasure_n in_o

for_o he_o know_v they_o love_v the_o dainty_n of_o this_o world_n worldly_a honour_n pleasure_n profit_n riches_n and_o vanity_n so_o the_o world_n be_v very_o take_v with_o bad_a people_n of_o all_o
