we_o see_v even_o at_o this_o day_n devil_n against_o those_o that_o seek_v after_o devil_n who_o make_v boast_n to_o have_v at_o their_o command_n such_o minister_n of_o iniquity_n who_o they_o

most_o assure_v to_o speak_v truth_n but_o they_o always_o tend_v to_o this_o point_n because_o of_o their_o malignant_a &_o envious_a nature_n to_o bring_v all_o hurt_n to_o man_n which_o in_o the_o
