the_o maker_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n paul_n do_v make_v this_o comparison_n betwixt_o this_o election_n of_o grace_n 9_o and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o potter_n do_v the_o thing_n form_v say_v paul_n say_v to_o he_o that_o form_v it_o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o have_v not_o the_o potter_n power_n over_o the_o clay_n to_o make_v of_o the_o same_o lump_n one_o vessel_n to_o
