,
I
will
do

;
and thus
thou doll many times fell
thy

to
the
Devil
:
You

Are

fhould
come and
offer you

för
a
commodity that
is
of price,
you
have

a
peece of ware
in
your

that
is
worth

(Billings,
and

comes
and
offers

I
venture
the
felling
of
this foul
of

that
is
more
worth
than
ten
thoufand worlds
,
for
fuch
a
poor gain'
as
this
is ?
and
yet
many
of
you

Secondly, And
then
thereis
`
a'
fecond
way
Of
a,;mans
felling
of
his foul
,
and that
is
when
a
man
(hall
refot

ly
give up

to
all
manner of wickednefs
:
Thus
it
is faid

In

Sixthly, And
then
a fixth
way
of
mens
lofing
their
fouls,

is
by

now
the poifon of

is

of wicked
erròurs; either
of

By
