be_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o evil_a wherewith_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v press_v down_o which_o by_o any_o creature_n can_v not_o be_v take_v away_o the_o other_o be_v the_o weakness_n or_o

whole_a life_n and_o mind_n the_o greatness_n of_o the_o evil_n wherewith_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v oppress_v be_v perceive_v in_o four_o thing_n chief_o namely_o in_o the_o weight_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n in_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o in_o the_o most_o crvel_n tyranny_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o weight_n of_o sin_n be_v great_a then_o that_o
