thou_o be_v but_o move_v thereunto_o shall_v give_v place_n unto_o it_o immediate_o if_o therefore_o other_o sin_n be_v loathsome_a unto_o thou_o for_o the_o monstrousness_n thereof_o let_v despair_n which_o be_v the_o most_o monstrous_a sin_n of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o loathsome_a unto_o thou_o if_o thou_o fear_v and_o fly_v other_o sin_n fear_v and_o fly_v especial_o despair_v which_o be_v a_o sin_n far_o great_a than_o they_o all_o and_o if_o thou_o have_v commit_v adultery_n murder_n or_o theft_n or_o any_o such_o like_a be_v by_o satan_n tempt_v to_o despair_n answer_v he_o and_o

have_v yield_v to_o thou_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o nay_o be_v it_o not_o too_o much_o that_o i_o have_v thus_o far_o yield_v unto_o thou_o except_o i_o shall_v now_o add_v despair_n unto_o the_o
