victory_n death_n commission_n and_o power_n be_v take_v away_o it_o come_v not_o as_o a_o penal_a and_o judicial_a evil_n to_o the_o saint_n not_o as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o curse_n but_o a_o remain_n of_o the_o cross_n a_o evil_a of_o affliction_n sanctify_a and_o eminent_o conduce_v to_o their_o good_a hence_o the_o apostle_n glory_n over_o it_o not_o in_o a_o way_n of_o proud_a insult_v
