this_o be_v evident_a and_o that_o to_o show_v a_o ground_n why_o they_o do_v so_o and_o the_o corinthian_n shall_v do_v so_o and_o the_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n

no_o great_a engagement_n on_o they_o to_o live_v to_o god_n then_o upon_o every_o son_n of_o adam_n which_o agree_v not_o with_o the_o whole_a series_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 2._o because_o
