than_o nothing_o yet_o lest_o any_o imagine_v that_o s._n james_n plain_o &_o simple_o grant_v a_o devil_n faith_n to_o be_v faith_n mark_v further_o how_o he_o do_v not_o for_o when_o he_o speak_v

elsewhere_o in_o his_o epistle_n for_o proper_o he_o term_v this_o manner_n of_o faith_n a_o dead_a faith_n that_o be_v no_o faith_n at_o al._n and_o this_o he_o prove_v by_o asimilitude_n that_o as_o
