it_o be_v not_o a_o full_a persuasion_n but_o take_v heed_n for_o this_o will_v be_v a_o rise_n for_o fearful_a temptation_n put_v case_n the_o devil_n shall_v tempt_v thou_o and_o say_v if_o thou_o

what_o say_v thou_o now_o faith_n satan_n be_v thou_o full_o persuade_v if_o not_o thou_o have_v no_o faith_n if_o thou_o have_v no_o faith_n thou_o be_v no_o good_a christian_n therefore_o go_v
