a_o evil_a name_n and_o set_v forth_o in_o a_o deform_a dress_n as_o therefore_o a_o action_n when_o it_o be_v apparent_o evil_a may_v not_o be_v venture_v upon_o because_o it_o have_v a_o good_a

put_v upon_o it_o 1_o through_o the_o common_a abuse_n of_o that_o thing_n by_o such_o as_o meddle_v in_o it_o and_o with_o it_o in_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n as_o for_o instance_n suppose_v a_o

such_o as_o a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o clear_a call_n from_o god_n to_o do_v it_o 2_o through_o forge_a accusation_n that_o may_v be_v lay_v against_o this_o or_o that_o thing_n as_o for_o instance_n
