of_o the_o world_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n may_v have_v draw_v a_o good_a argument_n from_o that_o if_o he_o use_v such_o in_o other_o place_n but_o because_o we_o find_v not_o that_o therefore_o we_o can_v settle_v upon_o this_o his_o manner_n be_v not_o to_o fashion_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n or_o to_o the_o action_n of_o man_n to_o draw_v thing_n of_o such_o weight_n as_o these_o

fulfil_v with_o a_o lively_a hope_n of_o the_o resurrection_n in_o that_o sense_n the_o argument_n thence_o draw_v teach_v we_o thus_o much_o that_o whatsoever_o action_n or_o precedent_n god_n child_n and_o saint_n have_v give_v in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o of_o singular_a and_o excellent_a use_n to_o prove_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o this_o article_n of_o the_o

at_o all_o christ_n be_v then_o follow_v when_o he_o be_v follow_v in_o his_o member_n as_o well_o as_o in_o himself_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n bid_v we_o be_v follower_n of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v of_o christ_n it_o be_v true_a the_o point_n of_o proof_n and_o imitation_n it_o rest_v not_o in_o man_n as_o he_o be_v man_n but_o as_o he_o be_v a_o follower_n of_o god_n so_o far_o we_o must_v

without_o any_o ground_n or_o reason_n or_o that_o they_o be_v deception_n of_o stubborn_a flesh_n that_o die_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o erroneous_a opinion_n he_o that_o speak_v thus_o

that_o apprehend_v the_o victory_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o conquest_n that_o christ_n have_v impute_v and_o impart_v to_o we_o a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o good_a work_n have_v no_o
