by_o some_o extraordinary_a sickness_n it_o have_v be_v grievous_a or_o torment_v by_o some_o unnatural_a merciless_a man_n the_o more_o to_o be_v pity_v but_o to_o be_v torment_v of_o the_o devil_n

in_o this_o foul_a enemy_n in_o that_o he_o tyrannize_v over_o so_o poor_a a_o creature_n so_o weak_a a_o child_n indeed_o betwixt_o he_o and_o adam_n in_o the_o glory_n of_o 3._o genes_n 3._o his_o

impar_fw-la congressus_fw-la there_o be_v great_a odds_n in_o the_o conflict_n this_o have_v be_v his_o custom_n of_o old_a to_o set_v upon_o the_o weak_a and_o therefore_o he_o first_o assault_v the_o woman_n 3._o genes_n 3._o who_o he_o know_v to_o be_v the_o weak_a vessel_n that_o for_o the_o love_n of_o she_o the_o man_n may_v the_o rather_o be_v draw_v into_o disobedience_n afterward_o

they_o which_o worst_o may_v must_v hold_v the_o candle_n our_o conclusion_n be_v the_o saint_n 37._o rom._n 8._o 37._o of_o god_n in_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n through_o

neither_o tempt_v he_o any_o man_n but_o every_o man_n be_v tempt_v when_o he_o be_v draw_v away_o by_o his_o own_o concupiscence_n and_o be_v entice_v fit_o therefore_o do_v the_o father_n define_v a_o temptation_n to_o be_v a_o corrupt_a affection_n tend_v or_o entice_v unto_o evil_n and_o to_o imagine_v this_o to_o come_v near_o to_o god_n be_v high_a blasphemy_n the_o matter_n therefore_o of_o our_o temptation_n be_v in_o we_o even_o our_o own_o concupiscence_n the_o devil_n need_v but_o to_o bring_v his_o bellows_n unto_o this_o fire_n and_o it_o be_v forthwith_o kindle_v we_o may_v
