therewith_o i_o shall_v be_v ensnare_v as_o eve_n be_v for_o first_o he_o do_v but_o propound_v a_o question_n to_o she_o wherein_o one_o will_v think_v there_o be_v no_o harm_n 3.1_o harm_n gen._n

which_o when_o we_o begin_v to_o think_v upon_o he_o draw_v we_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o doubt_v not_o to_o listen_v to_o satan_n by_o doubt_v and_o at_o last_o get_v head_n and_o

grow_v strong_a and_o get_v ground_n of_o we_o and_o wind_n further_o into_o we_o by_o insinuation_n therefore_o it_o be_v wisdom_n to_o watch_v our_o time_n and_o take_v our_o advantage_n to_o

god_n elect_v and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o decree_v before_o the_o world_n be_v to_o save_v i_o after_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v at_o a_o end_n min._n that_o satan_n have_v be_v here_o you_o may_v

therefore_o for_o i_o to_o doubt_v of_o that_o whereof_o i_o have_v no_o warrant_n to_o doubt_v be_v against_o all_o reason_n second_o i_o see_v it_o be_v a_o overcurious_a pride_n for_o i_o to_o go_v
