in_o this_o life_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v life_n everlasting_a well_o then_o the_o question_n be_v why_o shall_v those_o that_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n have_v such_o

what_o be_v honour_n honour_n it_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o another_o excellency_n when_o i_o testify_v of_o another_o man_n excellency_n than_o i_o honour_v he_o now_o look_v when_o a_o man_n do_v

they_o shall_v be_v well_o reward_v second_o these_o people_n of_o all_o other_o people_n be_v the_o people_n that_o do_v trust_v in_o the_o lord_n before_o the_o son_n of_o man_n o_o how_o great_a

some_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o believe_v in_o the_o heart_n as_o they_o say_v but_o they_o do_v not_o trust_v in_o god_n before_o the_o son_n of_o man_n but_o now_o when_o a_o man_n forsake_v a_o

that_o be_v firm_a and_o fast_o unto_o god_n god_n love_v a_o fix_a spirit_n god_n do_v not_o love_n to_o see_v a_o man_n unsettle_a in_o point_n of_o religion_n now_o when_o a_o man_n will_v leave_v
