a_o presumptuousness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n that_o make_v so_o many_o overween_a folk_n too_o break_v their_o own_o neck_n for_o that_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o grant_v that_o god_n govern_v man_n according_a too_o his_o own_o will_n as_o of_o good_a right_a he_o may_v full_o well_o furthermore_o also_o s._n paul_n have_v heretofore_o set_v the_o jew_n and_o

you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n say_v express_o that_o they_o which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o time_n past_a be_v comprehend_v under_o god_n election_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o &_o that_o the_o other_o can_v boast_v themselves_o too_o be_v more_o worthy_a or_o too_o have_v deserve_v more_o than_o they_o but_o that_o all_o must_v come_v too_o this_o point_n that_o as_o well_o

between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n he_o say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n too_o god_n accept_v of_o the_o jew_n for_o his_o own_o peculiar_a heritage_n they_o be_v a_o holy_a

they_o bring_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o god_n wrath_n and_o curse_n therefore_o like_v as_o in_o those_o text_n s._n paul_n have_v show_v that_o man_n beguile_v themselves_o if_o they_o imagine_v that_o they_o have_v any_o desert_n or_o worthiness_n in_o they_o so_o now_o for_o the_o better_a confirmation_n of_o the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o too_o take_v away_o all_o dispute_v and_o too_o

before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o world_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o effect_n be_v that_o all_o man_n from_o the_o most_o too_o the_o least_o be_v endanger_v unto_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o so_o holy_a or_o excellent_a that_o can_v exempt_v himself_o from_o that_o general_a state_n of_o man_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n magnify_v god_n goodness_n in_o that_o the_o ephesian_n be_v gather_v together_o and_o make_v all_o one_o with_o those_o that_o be_v hold_v and_o account_v afore_o for_o god_n people_n and_o for_o the_o household_n folk_n of_o his_o church_n before_o the_o ephesian_n believe_v the_o gospel_n there_o be_v great_a diversity_n between_o they_o as_o shall_v be_v declare_v yet_o more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o

have_v inquire_v of_o it_o as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a sure_o they_o must_v needs_o quail_v in_o their_o own_o imagination_n if_o they_o mind_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o say_v everlasting_a

when_o he_o cause_v the_o earth_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n indifferent_o for_o all_o man_n the_o same_o aught_o also_o too_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o gift_n and_o benefit_n of_o god_n but_o faith_n be_v a_o singular_a gift_n which_o be_v not_o bestow_v common_o upon_o all_o man_n but_o be_v reserve_v of_o god_n as_o a_o jewel_n for_o those_o who_o
instrument_n or_o covenant_n and_o conveyance_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o call_v the_o jew_n as_o it_o be_v in_o hudder_v mudther_n but_o have_v pass_v a_o solemn_a conveyance_n or_o evidence_n which_o serve_v too_o leave_v all_o the_o world_n in_o condemnation_n therefore_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v advance_v abraham_n lineage_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confound_v like_a as_o if_o some_o prince_n or_o some_o city_n shall_v make_v a_o league_n all_o other_o that_o be_v not_o comprehend_v in_o it_o be_v as_o good_a as_o deprive_v of_o the_o benefit_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o when_o god_n declare_v that_o he_o take_v the_o jew_n too_o be_v his_o

here_o too_o bethink_v ourselves_o furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v short_a witted_a in_o magnify_v god_n grace_n let_v we_o weigh_v well_o this_o word_n which_o s._n paul_n use_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o remembrance_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v forget_v for_o when_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o god_n grace_n and_o it_o have_v please_v he_o too_o give_v we_o some_o good_a

of_o our_o wit_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n in_o we_o and_o our_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a come_v not_o from_o our_o heart_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o behove_v

vouchsafe_v too_o maintain_v our_o part_n after_o that_o manner_n must_v we_o advance_v god_n power_n above_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o we_o may_v rest_v upon_o his_o promise_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o god_n word_n and_o the_o power_n of_o bring_v too_o pass_v the_o thing_n contain_v therein_o be_v thing_n unseparable_a and_o we_o blaspheme_v god_n as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v

it_o 18._o have_v common_o say_v be_v it_o not_o the_o god_n which_o have_v make_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n this_o shall_v seem_v too_o be_v far_o fetch_v for_o the_o case_n be_v that_o i_o be_o

he_o seem_v too_o send_v i_o very_o far_o and_o too_o make_v i_o leap_v out_o of_o god_n blessing_n into_o the_o warm_a sun_n but_o god_n tell_v of_o we_o that_o he_o create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v too_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o it_o belong_v too_o he_o also_o too_o rule_v his_o creature_n that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o as_o of_o his_o child_n that_o there_o be_v not_o

whatsoever_o seem_v too_o be_v against_o we_o and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o you_o must_v always_o have_v the_o say_a chain_n to_o tie_v god_n promise_n &_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o ring_v of_o they_o

that_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n will_v have_v we_o too_o look_v for_o all_o thing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o god_n and_o he_o say_v above_o our_o ask_n true_a it_o be_v

my_o friend_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o every_o of_o we_o too_o withdraw_v himself_o and_o too_o abstain_v from_o all_o evil_a and_o too_o show_v himself_o well_o mind_v and_o zealous_a too_o live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o in_o all_o uprightness_n but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v a_o mutual_a care_n one_o of_o another_o and_o be_v full_o resolve_v that_o it_o be_v no_o serve_v of_o god_n if_o we_o endeavour_n not_o by_o all_o the_o mean_n we_o can_v that_o other_o may_v do_v the_o like_a and_o so_o we_o see_v here_o how_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a first_o that_o every_o man_n look_v too_o himself_o and_o though_o all_o the_o world_n be_v mad_a in_o do_v evil_a yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o which_o be_v teach_v in_o god_n school_n do_v hold_v himself_o in_o awe_n and_o under_o subjection_n and_o consider_v whereunto_o he_o be_v call_v and_o therewithal_o that_o if_o there_o be_v many_o of_o we_o and_o god_n have_v shed_v out_o his_o

the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v serve_v they_o for_o look_v glass_n and_o example_n and_o confirm_v they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o too_o lead_v a_o

when_o other_o folk_n march_v on_o so_o fast_o afore_o and_o run_v so_o cheerful_o toward_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v away_o here_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v not_o call_v we_o eft_o one_o man_n alone_o and_o eft_o another_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v too_o set_v we_o a_o sunder_o but_o direct_v his_o voice_n too_o

will_v have_v keep_v himself_o from_o do_v so_o unlawful_a and_o utter_o unexcusable_a a_o deed_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v let_v we_o i_o say_v beware_v that_o we_o suffer_v not_o

still_o with_o you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o come_v it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v well_o have_v give_v they_o his_o spirit_n while_o he_o be_v conversant_a with_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a fashion_n as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v not_o dispute_v of_o this_o matter_n after_o our_o own_o

you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n whereunto_o we_o must_v enforce_v ourselves_o if_o we_o purpose_v too_o please_v god_n be_v that_o be_v rid_v of_o all_o our_o own_o conceit_n and_o affection_n we_o get_v we_o a_o new_a guide_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n god_n spirit_n according_a whâ—â—untoo_o he_o use_v a_o like_a manner_n of_o sentence_n in_o the_o twelve_o too_o the_o roman_n 2._o in_o

yet_o be_v not_o this_o exhortation_n more_o than_o need_v because_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n bring_v we_o too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o mean_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v

that_o the_o power_n which_o be_v in_o we_o shall_v come_v of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o move_v we_o unto_o good_a it_o be_v he_o that_o bring_v we_o to_o it_o it_o be_v he_o that_o give_v

saint_n paul_n therefore_o mean_v not_o that_o we_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n as_o of_o our_o own_o power_n but_o yet_o that_o every_o of_o we_o ought_v too_o strain_v himself_o too_o follow_v

saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o new_a man_n be_v create_v after_o god_n and_o his_o image_n and_o therein_o he_o confirm_v the_o matter_n which_o i_o go_v about_o too_o touch_v that_o be_v too_o

that_o as_o paul_n allege_v afterward_o god_n have_v in_o his_o law_n set_v down_o a_o more_o general_a term_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n honour_n for_o god_n mean_v too_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v

and_o moother_n therunder_o he_o mean_v too_o comprehend_v reverence_n and_o moreover_o a_o performance_n of_o all_o duty_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o child_n shall_v understand_v that_o they_o

let_v we_o have_v it_o well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n now_o than_o if_o we_o be_v desirous_a too_o enjoy_v this_o promise_n of_o god_n let_v every_o of_o

too_o submit_v themselves_o too_o it_o and_o too_o bear_v the_o yoke_n that_o be_v so_o hard_a and_o heavy_a now_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o he_o do_v servant_n wrong_v therein_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v rather_o have_v cry_v out_o against_o the_o common_a abuse_n that_o such_o outrage_n may_v have_v be_v lay_v down_o but_o we_o have_v two_o principle_n to_o remember_v to_o restrain_v we_o from_o attempt_v of_o any_o change_n the_o one_o be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o have_v be_v god_n will_v too_o put_v maynkynd_n into_o confusion_n and_o that_o all_o man_n both_o great_a and_o small_a shall_v be_v put_v in_o mind_n that_o adam_n have_v pervert_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n therefore_o s._n paul_n counsel_v servant_n to_o bear_v such_o subjection_n assure_v themselves_o that_o it_o come_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o must_v take_v it_o patient_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n serve_v not_o too_o change_v the_o common_a policy_n of_o the_o world_n and_o too_o make_v law_n that_o belong_v too_o the_o temporal_a state_n it_o be_v true_a that_o king_n prince_n and_o magistrate_n ought_v always_o too_o ask_v counsel_n at_o god_n mouth_n and_o too_o frame_v themselves_o unto_o his_o word_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o our_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o liberty_n too_o make_v such_o law_n as_o they_o shall_v perceive_v too_o be_v

and_o because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o ability_n too_o rule_v of_o themselves_o they_o must_v take_v advice_n and_o counsel_n at_o god_n word_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o doctrine_n of_o

behave_v themselves_o one_o toward_o another_o be_v sundry_a thing_n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n leave_v slavery_n bondage_n or_o seruiship_n as_o it_o be_v and_o he_o exhort_v servant_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n in_o fear_n and_o tremble_a that_o be_v too_o say_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o reverence_n yea_o and_o he_o add_v further_o with_o singleness_n of_o

forward_o in_o execute_v whatsoever_o be_v command_v they_o but_o he_o require_v reverence_n above_o all_o thing_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v servant_n understand_v that_o although_o they_o shall_v

the_o state_n wherein_o they_o be_v assure_v themselves_o that_o god_n allow_v of_o it_o and_o that_o the_o superiority_n which_o their_o master_n have_v over_o they_o how_o hard_a and_o grievous_a so_o ever_o it_o be_v be_v nevertheless_o ordain_v and_o establish_v of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o set_v down_o the_o word_n singleness_n for_o we_o be_v over_o witty_a in_o

take_v they_o too_o be_v all_o man_n of_o law_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o man_n be_v so_o wily_a in_o seek_v their_o own_o commodity_n and_o profit_n too_o the_o hindrance_n of_o other_o saint_n paul_n do_v purposely_o set_v down_o singleness_n of_o heart_n which_o serve_v too_o sift_v all_o affection_n and_o too_o overthrow_v all_o thing_n that_o man_n can_v devise_v too_o hinder_v themselves_o from_o do_v of_o their_o duty_n now_o he_o set_v down_o purposely_o these_o word_n as_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a foundation_n that_o we_o have_v too_o lean_a unto_o when_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o do_n of_o any_o duty_n towards_o man_n for_o if_o we_o stick_v too_o creature_n we_o will_v say_v come_v we_o not_o all_o out_o of_o the_o ark_n of_o no_o why_o shall_v

the_o mark_n therefore_o that_o all_o man_n shoot_v at_o be_v that_o every_o man_n will_v be_v a_o lord_n and_o no_o man_n admit_v any_o subjection_n and_o so_o it_o will_v needs_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o wild_a beast_n or_o rather_o as_o dog_n and_o cat_n as_o man_n say_v until_o we_o know_v that_o god_n like_v well_o of_o the_o seruis_fw-la that_o we_o do_v too_o creature_n if_o we_o be_v not_o thorough_o persuade_v of_o that_o we_o may_v well_o make_v some_o fair_a countenance_n and_o please_v man_n but_o out_o mind_n shall_v never_o be_v right_a and_o well_o dispose_v until_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n accept_v our_o seruis_fw-la but_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o cause_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o or_o rather_o

enough_o too_o make_v we_o leave_v of_o altogether_o now_o than_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o too_o come_v back_o too_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o namely_o that_o god_n be_v above_o all_o degree_n and_o that_o he_o have_v superiority_n over_o the_o world_n will_v have_v every_o man_n employ_v himself_o with_o all_o humbleness_n and_o that_o all_o subjection_n which_o he_o have_v ordain_v in_o the_o world_n too_o remain_v firm_a and_o unviolable_a this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o here_o now_o first_o of_o all_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v the_o general_a article_n which_o i_o come_v now_o to_o touch_v which_o be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v superior_n over_o we_o we_o must_v not_o obey_v they_o as_o enforce_v 1._o but_o
because_o god_n have_v ordain_v they_o and_o there_o be_v no_o pre-eminence_n but_o of_o he_o as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v to_o the_o roman_n it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o he_o speak_v express_o of_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o extend_v too_o all_o authority_n as_o too_o that_o which_o parent_n have_v over_o their_o child_n husband_n over_o wife_n and_o master_n over_o their_o servant_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v full_o persuade_v of_o this_o that_o god_n intent_n be_v not_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v shuffle_v together_o as_o it_o will_v come_v too_o pass_v if_o there_o be_v no_o restraint_n but_o that_o some_o shall_v rule_v and_o have_v authority_n too_o command_v other_o and_o that_o they_o which_o be_v under_o they_o shall_v obey_v then_o be_v it_o a_o unrevocable_a sentence_n of_o god_n whereunto_o we_o must_v hold_v ourselves_o and_o be_v content_v for_o if_o we_o protest_v ourselves_o too_o be_v willing_a too_o obey_v god_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n will_v needs_o remove_v all_o order_n that_o he_o have_v set_v among_o we_o all_o that_o we_o speak_v with_o our_o mouth_n be_v but_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o we_o must_v give_v a_o proof_n of_o our_o humility_n too_o godward_n by_o our_o willing_a and_o easy_a bear_n of_o man_n yoke_n which_o he_o have_v lay_v upon_o we_o as_o it_o be_v his_o own_o hand_n let_v that_o be_v for_o one_o point_n now_o as_o i_o say_v this_o comprehend_v all_o subjection_n as_o well_o of_o people_n towards_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n of_o child_n towards_o their_o parent_n and_o of_o wife_n towards_o their_o husband_n as_o also_o of_o servant_n towards_o their_o master_n and_o when_o we_o once_o have_v that_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o we_o too_o withstand_v all_o the_o trouble_n and_o encumbrance_n that_o hinder_v we_o and_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o our_o duty_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o can_v submit_v ourselves_o too_o god_n will_v as_o i_o say_v all_o these_o dispute_n be_v unavailable_a and_o fond_a when_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v why_o be_o i_o bind_v too_o such_o a_o one_o why_o shall_v he_o hold_v his_o foot_n upon_o my_o throat_n who_o have_v give_v he_o more_o authority_n than_o i_o but_o see_v god_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o hold_v our_o peace_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o it_o we_o shall_v be_v too_o froward_a if_o we_o show_v not_o by_o our_o deed_n that_o we_o be_v willing_a too_o please_v our_o god_n and_o too_o fulfil_v his_o good_a will_n for_o if_o a_o master_n have_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o folk_n in_o his_o house_n he_o shall_v be_v of_o sufficient_a authority_n too_o appoint_v who_o he_o list_v too_o have_v the_o oversight_n of_o it_o and_o they_o must_v be_v obey_v a_o prince_n have_v his_o officer_n and_o they_o must_v command_v and_o other_o must_v harken_v too_o they_o and_o simple_o obey_v they_o and_o what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o when_o our_o god_n who_o be_v the_o soverein_o lord_n and_o father_n &_o have_v the_o right_a of_o pre-eminence_n and_o dominion_n over_o we_o will_v have_v we_o too_o obey_v such_o as_o he_o have_v appoint_v without_o make_v any_o reply_n for_o what_o can_v it_o boot_n too_o say_v the_o contrary_a therefore_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o print_v this_o counsel_n of_o saint_n paul_n thorough_o in_o our_o heart_n that_o when_o we_o do_v our_o duty_n willing_o and_o unfeigned_o towards_o those_o who_o god_n have_v set_v in_o authority_n over_o we_o we_o serve_v god_n himself_o and_o sooth_o without_o that_o mind_n all_o the_o virtue_n that_o we_o can_v have_v in_o outward_a show_n too_o the_o worldward_n shall_v be_v but_o smoke_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v a_o number_n of_o man_n that_o pretend_v marvellous_o well_o insomuch_o that_o they_o who_o they_o serve_v shall_v be_v content_v tootoo_o well_o with_o they_o but_o although_o such_o deal_n be_v allow_v among_o man_n yet_o be_v it_o nothing_o worth_a before_o god_n and_o why_o for_o god_n will_v be_v honour_v at_o our_o hand_n he_o will_v have_v man_n too_o enjoy_v their_o right_a in_o such_o wise_n as_o neither_o he_o be_v forget_v nor_o they_o as_o it_o be_v deface_v therefore_o if_o we_o will_v but_o only_o obey_v man_n and_o despise_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n will_v have_v too_o be_v as_o a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n too_o himself_o what_o a_o deal_n be_v that_o then_o let_v we_o tend_v always_o too_o he_o and_o dedicate_v ourselves_o too_o he_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v underlyng_n let_v we_o bear_v that_o yoke_n willing_o and_o with_o a_o free_a and_o unslavishe_a or_o unconstreyn_v mind_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n saint_n paul_n say_v express_o let_v not_o your_o service_n be_v eye_n service_n as_o though_o you_o seek_v too_o please_v man_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o that_o play_v their_o pageant_n so_o fair_a as_o they_o say_v seek_v either_o recompense_n or_o else_o too_o be_v well_o intertain_v and_o feed_v with_o the_o fat_a or_o else_o too_o have_v great_a wage_n and_o afterward_o too_o have_v some_o extraordinary_a gift_n or_o reward_n when_o occasion_n serve_v that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o man_n hunt_v for_o when_o they_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n unto_o god_n but_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o although_o they_o who_o we_o serve_v be_v so_o froward_a as_o we_o can_v tell_v how_o too_o content_v they_o and_o we_o have_v not_o any_o hope_n that_o ever_o we_o shall_v get_v the_o value_n of_o a_o button_n at_o their_o hand_n yet_o we_o must_v nevertheless_o perform_v our_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o here_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o god_n command_v we_o we_o must_v not_o only_o employ_v our_o eye_n our_o foot_n our_o hand_n and_o our_o arm_n as_o they_o say_v but_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o the_o inwarâ—_n affection_n therefore_o when_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v not_o with_o eye_n service_n he_o show_v we_o that_o if_o we_o desire_v that_o our_o lord_n shall_v allow_v our_o seruiâ—â—s_n as_o good_a and_o lawful_a â–ª_o our_o heart_n must_v go_v foremost_a and_o guide_v all_o our_o member_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o counterfeit_n accordingly_z as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o regard_v faithfulness_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o we_o shall_v deal_v sound_o 6._o plain_o and_o substantial_o thus_o be_v all_o gay_a show_n quite_o dash_v for_o as_o i_o say_v there_o be_v greaâ—e_a preâ—ence_n of_o virtue_n in_o many_o

will_v not_o otherwise_o agree_v but_o here_o by_o the_o way_n a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n for_o saint_n paul_n pray_v not_o god_n too_o give_v faith_n too_o the_o faithless_a and_o charity_n
