by_o true_a virtue_n and_o when_o they_o arrive_v at_o that_o they_o overcome_v the_o devil_n for_o he_o have_v no_o power_n but_o over_o his_o own_o work_n or_o the_o corruption_n which_o he_o have_v

by_o the_o love_n he_o have_v to_o he_o than_o he_o scorn_v at_o the_o devil_n and_o become_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o so_o will_v no_o more_o have_v any_o fellowship_n with_o that_o corruption_n wherein_o he_o be_v bear_v yet_o such_o a_o one_o must_v be_v upon_o his_o guard_n for_o the_o devil_n who_o seduce_v our_o first_o parent_n when_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n may_v well_o

choose_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n for_o his_o spouse_n and_o not_o his_o slave_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v have_v a_o time_n of_o proof_n or_o advisement_n to_o resolve_v if_o it_o will_v join_v

that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o his_o time_n of_o trial_n be_v turn_v into_o one_o of_o penitence_n which_o adam_n undergo_v faithful_o all_o the_o time_n of_o his_o life_n but_o the_o pride_n which_o his_o first_o sin_n have_v plant_v in_o our_o heart_n make_v we_o often_o depise_v he_o and_o wish_v evil_a to_o he_o because_o of_o the_o hurt_n he_o cause_v we_o as_o if_o he_o be_v the_o
