devil_n and_o apostate_n spirit_n be_v perpetual_o active_a and_o busy_a in_o promote_a the_o concernment_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o darkness_n and_o therefore_o doubtless_o he_o who_o god_n have_v

over_o they_o who_o once_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o redeem_v with_o his_o own_o precious_a blood_n no_o certain_o he_o that_o wade_v through_o so_o many_o difficulty_n and_o agony_n for_o we_o in_o the_o

of_o blood_n in_o the_o garden_n and_o be_v nail_v to_o the_o cross_n for_o we_o in_o golgotha_n he_o can_v so_o easy_o forget_v those_o who_o he_o have_v so_o dear_o buy_v nor_o suffer_v all_o that_o
