1_o tim._n 4.1_o now_o the_o spirit_n speak_v express_o that_o in_o the_o latter_a time_n some_o shall_v depart_v from_o the_o faith_n give_v heed_n to_o seduce_a spirit_n etc._n etc._n the_o spirit_n

8.20_o to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n if_o they_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o this_o word_n it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o they_o therefore_o when_o peter_n will_v have_v persuade_v christ_n from_o suffer_v christ_n will_v not_o be_v lead_v by_o that_o spirit_n but_o say_v get_v thou_o behind_o i_o satan_n because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o

but_o he_o that_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v therefore_o i_o say_v again_o take_v heed_n of_o resist_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n ob._n the_o apostle_n bid_v we_o try_v all_o thing_n and_o keep_v that_o which_o be_v good_a 1_o thes_n 3.21_o ans_fw-fr but_o he_o bid_v you_o in_o the_o next_o word_n to_o avoid_v all_o appearance_n of_o

23.17_o 28_o 31._o but_o with_o that_o they_o mix_v their_o own_o dream_n so_o the_o false_a apostle_n transform_v themselves_o into_o the_o minister_n of_o righteousness_n so_o the_o devil_n when_o
