these_o thing_n be_v more_o ample_o dispute_v upon_o in_o his_o little_a book_n de_fw-fr spiritu_fw-la &_o litera_fw-la final_o they_o altogether_o know_v not_o what_o the_o deliverance_n from_o the_o

moreover_o the_o dead_a shall_v not_o praise_v thou_o lord_n again_o because_o there_o be_v none_o be_v death_n which_o shall_v remember_v thou_o 112._o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v affirm_v

therefore_o lay_v upon_o they_o that_o thereby_o repentance_n may_v grow_v but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n here_o commit_v this_o opinion_n be_v a_o great_a deal_n
