and_o he_o do_v eat_v now_o if_o a_o serpent_n side_v with_o her_o inclination_n can_v so_o quick_o stagger_v and_o quite_o overthrow_v her_o faith_n if_o she_o because_o she_o see_v and_o like_v a_o

only_o flatter_v her_o desire_n with_o promise_n and_o expectation_n of_o she_o know_v not_o what_o 5._o you_o shall_v not_o die_v but_o you_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n if_o in_o spite_n of_o knowledge_n she_o turn_v infidel_n so_o soon_o and_o easy_o it_o be_v no_o great_a wonder_n if_o that_o serpent_n do_v at_o this_o distance_n from_o revelation_n prevail_v on_o man_n who_o
