before_o god_n etc._n etc._n second_o that_o the_o liberty_n of_o christian_n be_v a_o true_a and_o therefore_o not_o a_o unbounded_a liberty_n now_o one_o of_o the_o bound_n and_o limit_n which_o god_n have_v set_v
it_o be_v as_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o law_n of_o loyalty_n require_v obedience_n to_o superior_n wherefore_o a_o christian_a man_n though_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n he_o be_v free_a as_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o adoption_n in_o christ_n yet_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o servant_n not_o only_o to_o his_o 16._o superior_n in_o
