next_o because_o we_o likewise_o see_v that_o the_o power_n of_o fulfil_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n make_v to_o we_o touch_v eternal_a life_n be_v put_v in_o his_o hand_n who_o be_v not_o ashamed_a

great_a stress_n be_v lay_v upon_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n then_o upon_o his_o death_n a._n it_o be_v altogether_o so_o for_o so_o the_o scripture_n itself_o speak_v of_o this_o matter_n

not_o without_o it_o arrive_v to_o his_o power_n and_o dignity_n again_o because_o of_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n and_o christ_n do_v for_o our_o salvation_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n do_v chief_o show_v unto_o we_o and_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n the_o transcendent_a love_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n towards_o we_o q._n be_v there_o not_o some_o other_o cause_n of_o the_o death_n of_o
