at_o the_o woman_n take_v in_o adultery_n indeed_o i_o have_v accustom_v myself_o to_o inveigh_v against_o wicked_a doctrine_n adversary_n somewhat_o sharp_o and_o have_v pinch_v my_o adversary_n not_o for_o their_o licentious_a life_n but_o for_o their_o irreligious_a doctrine_n somewhat_o earnest_o whereof_o it_o so_o little_a repent_v i_o that_o i_o be_o full_o persuade_v without_o all_o regard_n have_v of_o man_n censure_n herein_o to_o persevere_v in_o that_o vehemency_n of_o zeal_n enduce_v hereunto_o by_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n who_o according_a to_o the_o same_o zeal_n spare_v not_o to_o call_v his_o adversary_n viper_n brood_n blind_a hypocrite_n and_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n so_o do_v paul_n accuse_v simon_n magus_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o satan_n full_a of_o fraud_n and_o malice_n tenderling_n and_o some_o other_o he_o reprove_v open_o by_o the_o name_n of_o dog_n deceiver_n and_o crafty_a simonist_n of_o who_o sharp_a word_n if_o nice_a delicate_n may_v be_v admit_v judge_n nothing_o shall_v be_v suppose_v more_o nip_a and_o uncivil_a what_o can_v be_v more_o vehement_a than_o the_o prophet_n certes_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o age_n age_n be_v
