which_o lust_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o also_o against_o which_o the_o spirit_n lust_v certain_o if_o the_o spirit_n lust_v against_o our_o material_a flesh_n than_o it_o be_v our_o

the_o heart_n and_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n and_o by_o their_o use_v this_o or_o that_o member_n of_o the_o body_n so_o defile_v the_o man_n the_o weakness_n of_o the_o body_n or_o that_o attend_v our_o
