if_o we_o shall_v grow_v a_o little_a near_o to_o this_o matter_n and_o peruse_v a_o example_n or_o two_o in_o the_o holy_a book_n of_o god_n consider_v whether_o it_o be_v corrupt_a false_a and_o

it_o be_v by_o the_o first_o come_v the_o destruction_n and_o overthrow_n of_o all_o the_o perfection_n of_o man_n by_o the_o second_o a_o perpetual_a curse_n to_o the_o murderer_n and_o a_o

by_o the_o rule_n afore_o prescribe_v into_o thing_n inferior_a to_o we_o and_o into_o what_o be_v above_o and_o great_a than_o ourselves_o as_o the_o inferior_a creature_n whereof_o the_o sensitive_a
