to_o he_o by_o who_o the_o offence_n come_v to_o make_v way_n for_o what_o follow_v it_o be_v fit_a to_o consider_v what_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o scandal_n or_o offence_n that_o we_o call_v a_o

of_o offence_n which_o be_v give_v by_o sinful_a and_o foul_a action_n that_o there_o must_v be_v scandal_n this_o necessity_n arise_v from_o a_o threefold_a ground_n 1._o from_o the_o decree_n and_o
