unfit_a to_o be_v speak_v though_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n wicked_a man_n hate_v the_o lord_n jesus_n more_o than_o either_o sin_n or_o the_o devil_n himself_o good_a lord_n be_v

we_o know_v the_o great_a evil_n of_o all_o be_v sin_n for_o the_o devil_n himself_o be_v not_o to_o be_v loathe_v but_o for_o sin_n and_o for_o it_o only_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n say_v

for_o first_o they_o oppose_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n be_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o truth_n it_o will_v open_v the_o eye_n and_o come_v home_o to_o the_o
