of_o conscience_n it_o be_v sin_n remove_v thyself_o therefore_o quick_o from_o such_o a_o work_n wherefore_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v say_v unto_o they_o behold_v o_o man_n thou_o miserable_a

that_o thou_o show_v thy_o pleasure_n and_o love_v herein_o otherwise_o thou_o shall_v be_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o friend_n of_o satan_n thus_o man_n leave_v their_o own_o rashness_n may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o themselves_o and_o may_v then_o say_v therefore_o o_o god_n be_o i_o condemn_v and_o that_o not_o unjust_o hereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v all_o under_o satan_n as_o long_o as_o we_o feel_v in_o we_o this_o difficulty_n and_o hardness_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a wherefore_o if_o i_o shall_v speak_v the_o truth_n i_o shall_v say_v

he_o show_v his_o mercy_n unto_o we_o say_v after_o this_o sort_n behold_v thou_o ought_v in_o deed_n to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n but_o thou_o do_v it_o not_o now_o believe_v only_o
