this_o place_n dâ—â—ers_v way_n yet_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o apostle_n understand_v it_o of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o the_o leviticall_a priest_n in_o former_a time_n enter_v

that_o nothing_o proceed_v from_o we_o which_o can_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n till_o we_o be_v purge_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o see_v we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o enemy_n of_o god_n before_o we_o be_v reconcile_v he_o must_v in_o his_o justice_n hate_v all_o our_o work_n the_o beginning_n therefore_o of_o the_o true_a and_o lawful_a service_n of_o god_n be_v reconciliation_n
