this_o lawyer_n be_v his_o tempter_n yet_o do_v he_o allow_v his_o answer_n so_o though_o a_o man_n be_v thy_o enemy_n yet_o let_v he_o have_v his_o due_n if_o he_o be_v learn_v report_v no_o less_o

concern_v the_o first_o as_o in_o the_o former_a precept_n so_o in_o this_o also_o the_o lord_n require_v love_n wherein_o he_o deal_v as_o a_o kind_a father_n with_o his_o child_n who_o desirous_a

people_n think_v that_o the_o doctrine_n be_v true_a when_o they_o that_o preach_v it_o live_v not_o thereafter_o will_v not_o the_o people_n reason_n thus_o if_o his_o doctrine_n be_v good_a sure_o
