not_o suffer_v he_o to_o appear_v in_o flesh_n at_o all_o therefore_o say_v the_o father_n this_o sin_n or_o curse_n shall_v never_o be_v pardon_v that_o be_v the_o father_n will_v never_o reconcile_v that_o wicked_a one_o to_o he_o 15._o the_o father_n and_o the_o serpent_n will_v never_o become_v one_o but_o will_v always_o be_v fight_v till_o the_o serpent_n head_n be_v bruise_v for_o this_o

which_o the_o creature_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n and_o become_v one_o with_o it_o and_o so_o fight_v against_o his_o maker_n ay_o but_o the_o father_n will_v bruise_v this_o head_n of_o

the_o father_n will_v ever_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n to_o that_o and_o will_v be_v ever_o take_v peace_n from_o that_o earth_n that_o give_v this_o wicked_a one_o entertainment_n for_o the_o

true_a every_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o this_o sin_n against_o the_o spirit_n and_o though_o the_o father_n will_v never_o make_v this_o sin_n one_o with_o himself_o yet_o he_o will_v make_v his_o creature_n man_n one_o with_o he_o when_o this_o curse_n be_v swallow_v up_o of_o life_n and_o why_o will_v he_o not_o pardon_v this_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o lamb_n book_n
