do_v raise_v up_o the_o dead_a so_o do_v the_o son_n who_o he_o will_n this_o be_v not_o speak_v to_o put_v a_o difference_n that_o the_o father_n do_v quicken_v some_o who_o he_o will_v and_o the_o

to_o life_n everlasting_a such_o a_o raise_v as_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o creed_n the_o point_n than_o be_v that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n in_o quicken_a be_v one_o and_o

of_o creation_n thus_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o will_v set_v forth_o the_o great_a power_n of_o god_n he_o allege_v this_o rom._n 4.17_o eph._n 1.19.20_o rom._n 1.4_o a_o work_n so_o great_a that_o
