shall_v take_v away_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n argue_v heb._n 10.4_o wherefore_o the_o law_n as_o he_o say_v there_o can_v not_o by_o those_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v fain_o to_o be_v continual_o

that_o the_o law_n be_v in_o itself_o holy_a and_o just_a and_o perfect_a but_o sin_n find_v occasion_n from_o the_o law_n to_o be_v exceed_o sinful_a wherefore_o he_o affirm_v elsewhere_o that_o as_o
