but_o far_o more_o painful_a and_o terrible_a to_o nature_n the_o death_n on_o the_o cross_n in_o rent_v and_o tear_v that_o bless_a body_n of_o he_o even_o as_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v

the_o spirit_n must_v first_o become_v a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o fear_n for_o the_o magnify_n of_o god_n justice_n thus_o the_o prophet_n david_n have_v sin_v be_v drive_v to_o this_o
