our_o infirmity_n with_o the_o courage_n of_o fight_v and_o by_o they_o to_o keep_v we_o wake_v that_o we_o may_v discern_v the_o storm_n when_o it_o come_v and_o cast_v our_o ank_n or_o on_o christ_n where_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v unloose_a here_o the_o craft_n and_o wiliness_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n will_v so_o one_o take_v occasion_n of_o licentiousness_n as_o to_o say_v if_o our_o

sin_n be_v always_o sinful_a god_n can_v make_v satan_n a_o physician_n to_o cure_n paul_n yet_o be_v he_o ever_o satan_n that_o be_v a_o enemy_n god_n can_v make_v the_o tyranny_n of_o pharaoh_n as_o

22.47_o john_n 17.12_o god_n can_v make_v judas_n by_o a_o kiss_n the_o executioner_n of_o his_o decree_n yet_o do_v he_o continue_v the_o child_n of_o perdition_n so_o as_o we_o must_v strive_v against_o our_o infirmity_n because_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o simple_o evil_a though_o qualify_v and_o temper_v with_o the_o lord_n hand_n they_o turn_v to_o our_o good_a adultery_n it_o be_v
