indeed_o there_o be_v in_o they_o nothing_o less_o now_o in_o that_o his_o chief_a complaint_n be_v against_o they_o the_o doctrine_n be_v that_o deceitful_a friend_n be_v worse_o than_o open_a and_o

they_o both_o and_o as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o outward_a man_n so_o be_v it_o also_o for_o the_o soul_n the_o most_o dangerous_a temptation_n be_v those_o that_o proceed_v from_o feign_a friend_n under_o the_o colour_n of_o love_n and_o desire_v of_o our_o good_a if_o satan_n have_v come_v unto_o eve_n and_o tell_v she_o i_o charge_v you_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o
