wickedness_n spend_v your_o precious_a time_n in_o pride_n pleasure_n and_o vanity_n satisfy_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o take_v counsel_n of_o that_o wicked_a spirit_n which_o work_v in_o

destroy_v the_o innocent_a then_o will_v you_o be_v find_v guilty_a before_o the_o lord_n of_o their_o blood_n which_o will_v lie_v heavy_a upon_o you_o and_o so_o by_o do_v these_o thing_n you_o will_v provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o anger_n and_o he_o will_v appear_v against_o you_o and_o bring_v his_o fierce_a judgement_n upon_o you_o and_o cut_v you_o off_o sudden_o from_o off_o the_o face_n
