smite_v he_o as_o here_o it_o do_v so_o do_v before_o in_o less_o matter_n it_o be_v not_o whole_o void_a of_o cleanness_n and_o again_o it_o can_v not_o pray_v for_o cleanness_n if_o it_o be_v not_o somewhat_o clean_o this_o be_v most_o sure_a that_o by_o grievous_a sin_n much_o filthiness_n come_v to_o the_o soul_n as_o by_o a_o boisterous_a wind_n a_o tree_n may_v loose_v his_o leaf_n and_o
