that_o know_v not_o the_o only_a true_a and_o live_a god_n nor_o jesus_n christ_n who_o he_o have_v send_v a_o light_n into_o the_o world_n i_o say_v my_o friend_n these_o thing_n be_v sufficient_a

for_o the_o lord_n through_o all_o suffering_n if_o it_o be_v death_n itself_o know_v the_o reward_n thereof_o to_o be_v so_o exceed_o great_a and_o have_v this_o confidence_n in_o ourselves_o that_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o move_v we_o nor_o to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n jesus_n nay_o but_o rather_o shall_v
