that_o he_o shall_v most_o certain_o have_v victory_n he_o be_v not_o leave_v at_o uncertainty_n to_o the_o chance_n of_o war_n wherein_o the_o victory_n in_o battle_n be_v not_o always_o to_o the_o

by_o christ_n in_o his_o word_n as_o sin_n satan_n death_n and_o hell_n can_v not_o conquer_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o captain_n himself_o so_o neither_o shall_v any_o of_o they_o be_v
