to_o it_o the_o more_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sense_n and_o fleshly_a familiarity_n of_o the_o thought_n do_v prevail_v against_o the_o spiritual_a hatred_n thereof_o so_o it_o fare_v in_o other_o temptation_n of_o a_o hideous_a nature_n as_o atheistical_a thought_n against_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n or_o blasphemous_a thought_n against_o the_o scripture_n or_o the_o essence_n

therefore_o in_o such_o case_n as_o these_o the_o practice_n of_o elisha_n to_o the_o servant_n of_o jehoram_n be_v to_o be_v follow_v we_o must_v pray_v against_o the_o tenacity_n thereof_o and_o
