and_o shall_v any_o such_o man_n yet_o think_v that_o there_o be_v not_o now_o need_v or_o use_v of_o these_o powerful_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o dispossess_v this_o powerful_a prince_n that_o yet_o so_o rule_v in_o the_o world_n and_o heart_n of_o man_n or_o can_v he_o or_o any_o man_n else_o be_v so_o simple_a as_o to_o think_v that_o satan_n ever_o be_v or_o yet_o be_v so_o weak_a or_o

wherefore_o for_o these_o and_o many_o other_o good_a cause_n it_o may_v be_v well_o deem_v that_o there_o be_v since_o the_o say_v four_o hundred_o year_n and_o be_v yet_o the_o same_o need_n of_o

with_o the_o original_a for_o although_o it_o be_v admit_v by_o many_o that_o the_o original_a penman_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v all_o inspire_v by_o god_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v and_o be_v by_o

to_o agree_v with_o the_o original_a beside_o see_v reason_n &_o experience_n teach_v that_o time_n produce_v such_o variation_n and_o change_n in_o language_n as_o that_o a_o word_n signify_v one_o
