afterward_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o faith_n wrought_v with_o his_o work_n he_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v effectual_a and_o full_a of_o

to_o they_o that_o be_v obedient_a and_o disherit_v they_o that_o be_v disobedient_a so_o god_n the_o father_n promise_v inheritance_n to_o his_o child_n but_o those_o which_o of_o child_n be_v make_v
