not_o these_o man_n but_o i_o hate_v the_o evil_a spirit_n that_o be_v in_o they_o and_o love_v they_o i_o discover_v their_o wickedness_n if_o so_o be_v by_o it_o they_o come_v to_o repent_v and_o

to_o be_v among_o man_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o god_n be_v please_v to_o judge_v such_o rebellious_a man_n by_o those_o creature_n which_o we_o count_v most_o foolish_a as_o we_o common_o say_v

such_o seduce_a spirit_n that_o will_v divide_v the_o head_n from_o the_o body_n in_o church_n kingdom_n and_o family_n for_o the_o end_n of_o my_o discourse_n be_v to_o bring_v all_o man_n to_o

through_o the_o darkness_n which_o come_v upon_o the_o church_n some_o hundred_o year_n ago_o by_o reason_n when_o the_o corrupt_a clergy_n who_o be_v without_o conscience_n or_o honesty_n get_v the_o

then_o use_v the_o same_o word_n as_o if_o they_o give_v they_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o give_v they_o nothing_o or_o just_o as_o saint_n james_n say_v jam._n 2._o 13_o 14._o if_o one_o see_v a_o
