where_o these_o outward_a liberty_n be_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n have_v a_o intendment_n to_o set_v man_n at_o spiritual_a liberty_n those_o therefore_o that_o be_v enemy_n of_o the_o

because_o they_o be_v enemy_n of_o that_o whereby_o spiritual_a liberty_n be_v preserve_v therefore_o the_o gospel_n be_v set_v out_o by_o that_o phrase_n why_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n not_o only_o
