and_o displeasure_n or_o deserve_v life_n everlasting_a sure_o nothing_o and_o where_o as_o paul_n say_v here_o i_o fulfil_v that_o be_v behind_o or_o that_o do_v remain_v of_o the_o affliction_n of_o

they_o because_o we_o be_v membre_n of_o his_o body_n and_o christ_n suffer_v when_o his_o member_n suffer_v act_n ix_o god_n speak_v to_o paul_n saul_n saul_n quid_fw-la i_o persequeris_fw-la why_o do_v thou_o persecute_v i_o and_o so_o christ_n be_v call_v to_o suffer_v two_o way_n one_o way_n in_o his_o own_fw-mi natural_a body_n as_o when_o he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n another_o way_n when_o he_o suffer_v in_o his_o mystical_a membre_n in_o the_o body_n of_o his_o elect_a people_n after_o the_o first_o way_n nothing_o be_v leave_v unperfite_a as_o touch_v the_o membre_n that_o

for_o our_o example_n to_o suffer_v so_o i_o do_v now_o suffer_v affliction_n for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n to_o geve_v other_o example_n to_o suffer_v patient_o such_o affliction_n as_o shall_v
