of_o this_o world_n kindle_v itself_o in_o the_o hellish_a poison_n and_o wrath_n and_o so_o disease_n and_o the_o pestilence_n come_v forth_o which_o god_n be_v not_o guilty_a of_o but_o man_n have_v

he_o drive_v man_n so_o eagarly_a to_o unchastity_n for_o he_o know_v well_o what_o he_o get_v by_o that_o and_o what_o ability_n it_o have_v in_o the_o incarnation_n or_o man_n come_v to_o be_v and_o what_o fine_a spirit_n be_v beget_v out_o of_o a_o false_a will_n and_o unchastity_n to_o which_o spirit_n he_o have_v a_o great_a access_n and_o power_n 42._o and_o then_o three_o we_o give_v you_o
