to_o confess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v sinner_n themselves_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n for_o righteousness_n unto_o every_o one_o that_o

the_o worthiness_n and_o dignity_n of_o christ_n which_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o he_o be_v the_o only_a light_n salvation_n life_n resurrection_n and_o righteousness_n and_o the_o sovereign_a

how_o christ_n be_v a_o rock_n of_o offence_n righteousness_n unto_o ourselves_o we_o wrestle_v as_o it_o be_v with_o christ_n who_o property_n it_o be_v to_o beat_v down_o they_o that_o be_v
