and_o what_o be_v the_o second_o cause_n theophilus_n the_o second_o cause_n why_o god_n suffer_v satan_n thus_o to_o triumph_v by_o his_o art_n and_o to_o rule_v over_o infidel_n be_v that_o he_o may_v fatherly_a forewarn_v his_o saint_n to_o 17._o pass_v their_o dwell_n here_o in_o fear_n and_o with_o all_o diligence_n to_o avoid_v the_o contagion_n of_o the_o wicked_a with_o who_o they_o have_v any_o conversation_n mysodaemon_n and_o what_o be_v the_o three_o theophilus_n the_o three_o cause_n of_o this_o permission_n be_v that_o by_o these_o delusion_n of_o the_o devil_n god_n may_v in_o justice_n punish_v they_o which_o will_v not_o receive_v his_o truth_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o which_o will_v not_o 11_o believe_v the_o truth_n god_n will_v send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v lie_n mysodaemon_n it_o be_v most_o true_a we_o see_v for_o such_o as_o hunt_v after_o our_o dote_a witch_n be_v most_o sottish_a idiotte_n of_o all_o the_o people_n who_o when_o they_o be_v sting_v by_o satan_n run_v forthwith_o to_o be_v cure_v by_o he_o what_o now_o be_v the_o four_o cause_n theophilus_n the_o trial_n of_o god_n saint_n for_o
