their_o salvation_n and_o have_v hear_v the_o tradition_n how_o the_o devil_n have_v be_v force_v to_o cast_v up_o and_o cancel_v some_o such_o pact_a indenture_n though_o write_v with_o the_o party_n own_o blood_n i_o will_v conceive_v withal_o that_o witch_n have_v as_o great_a cause_n as_o may_v be_v to_o recant_v they_o of_o their_o bargain_n and_o labour_n to_o return_v because_o they_o have_v

into_o his_o infernal_a possession_n and_o this_o he_o be_v the_o more_o eager_a upon_o lest_o peradventure_o have_v weary_v themselves_o in_o this_o way_n of_o wickedness_n it_o may_v come_v into_o

there_o will_v be_v more_o hope_n if_o we_o can_v hear_v god_n promise_v and_o promove_v it_o but_o god_n have_v universal_o declare_v himself_o for_o their_o damnation_n malac._n 3._o 5._o revel._n
