because_o he_o have_v not_o his_o degree_n upon_o he_o he_o be_v not_o call_v to_o the_o bar_n and_o so_o be_v not_o call_v to_o the_o bar_n he_o can_v plead_v sometime_o perhaps_o such_o a_o one_o

but_o now_o because_o he_o have_v not_o a_o call_v to_o plead_v at_o the_o bar_n he_o may_v not_o now_o jesus_n christ_n be_v such_o a_o advocate_n which_o be_v not_o only_o gift_v and_o able_a but_o
