mistake_n and_o fearful_o wrest_v the_o word_n bodily_a exercise_n concern_v the_o meaning_n whereof_o interpreter_n do_v not_o ready_o agree_v but_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o that_o of_o all_o

of_o profitable_a use_n to_o tame_v the_o flesh_n and_o to_o bring_v it_o into_o subjection_n to_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o to_o make_v the_o whole_a man_n the_o fit_a for_o devotion_n but_o if_o
