to_o the_o corinthian_n 3._o 2._o cor._n 12.2_o and_o 3._o our_o rejoice_v shall_v be_v not_o in_o ourselves_o but_o in_o the_o man_n which_o be_v christ_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v with_o

this_o serve_v to_o we_o for_o two_o thing_n to_o instruct_v we_o not_o with_o papist_n or_o other_o whatsoever_o to_o asscribe_v merit_n to_o our_o work_n or_o to_o esteem_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o
