therefore_o christ_n become_v poor_a to_o make_v we_o rich_a that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n shed_v in_o our_o heart_n union_n now_o all_o these_o riches_n that_o we_o have_v by_o

a_o knit_n of_o the_o member_n to_o the_o head_n before_o any_o spirit_n can_v be_v derive_v from_o the_o head_n to_o the_o member_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o
