peace_n to_o this_o end_n consider_v 1._o that_o christ_n have_v overcome_v the_o world_n he_o have_v qualify_v the_o mercury_n and_o quickesilver_n of_o it_o and_o make_v that_o which_o be_v in_o

and_o ill-look_a from_o the_o world_n must_v bring_v you_o into_o a_o distemperature_n lift_v up_o your_o head_n therefore_o christian_n lest_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o loser_n by_o your_o soul_n
