saviour_n give_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n why_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o his_o sheep_n 5._o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v rom._n 10.14_o how_o shall_v they_o

the_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v not_o hear_v of_o a_o crucify_a christ_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o if_o it_o be_v say_v yes_o but_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o

but_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o contradict_v himself_o for_o he_o say_v how_o can_v they_o believe_v in_o he_o of_o who_o they_o have_v not_o hear_v and_o how_o can_v they_o hear_v without_o a_o preacher_n and_o a_o preacher_n send_v if_o man_n can_v hear_v of_o christ_n by_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n than_o they_o can_v hear_v of_o christ_n without_o the_o preach_n of_o one_o send_v which_o he_o deny_v ver_fw-la 14_o 15._o and_o if_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n do_v preach_v christ_n crucify_v then_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o gospel_n no_o divine_a
