the_o soul_n become_v to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n be_v prove_v he_o that_o have_v receive_v his_o testimony_n have_v set_v to_o his_o seal_n that_o god_n be_v true_a john_n 3.33_o as_o many_o

reconciliation_n manifest_v unto_o he_o although_o this_o proposition_n need_v no_o proof_n in_o regard_n that_o the_o world_n so_o far_o dote_v on_o condition_n that_o they_o will_v hardly_o admit_v
