that_o age_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n as_o touch_v isaac_n who_o be_v god_n minister_n to_o bless_v we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v entangle_v with_o a_o inordinate_a affection_n and_o here_o

like_o mighty_a nimrods_n in_o the_o quarrel_n of_o the_o flesh_n we_o dare_v wage_v battle_n against_o the_o plain_a word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n these_o affection_n of_o we_o as_o the_o wave_n

a_o worse_a end_n than_o elimine_n a_o man_n be_v lead_v with_o his_o affection_n do_v seem_v to_o deal_v with_o reason_n as_o perfumer_n deal_v with_o oil_n who_o never_o cease_v meddle_v and_o
