devilish_a wisdom_n because_o the_o devil_n join_v his_o wisdom_n with_o it_o therefore_o go_v about_o this_o as_o a_o hard_a work_n deal_v hardly_o with_o it_o as_o the_o prophet_n bid_v they_o

we_o may_v learn_v somewhat_o to_o judge_v whether_o the_o desire_n come_v from_o the_o flesh_n or_o no._n hence_o learn_v how_o to_o judge_v of_o your_o condition_n 4._o whether_o you_o be_v in_o

have_v no_o part_n in_o he_o but_o here_o every_o man_n as_o it_o be_v the_o part_n of_o the_o most_o unsound_a to_o flatter_v themselves_o will_v say_v he_o do_v not_o profess_v himself_o no_o body_n will_v grant_v that_o he_o do_v please_v himself_o therefore_o for_o the_o trial_n of_o this_o take_v these_o rule_n if_o you_o will_v know_v whether_o you_o deny_v yourselves_o or_o not_o first_o
