you_o can_v be_v damn_v except_o christ_n be_v damn_v with_o you_o neither_o can_v christ_n be_v save_v except_o you_o be_v save_v with_o he_o and_o as_o by_o mean_n of_o corporal_a marriage_n all_o

i_o confess_v o_o law_n that_o i_o be_o neither_o godly_a nor_o righteous_a but_o yet_o 42.99_o this_o be_o i_o sure_a of_o that_o he_o be_v godly_a and_o righteous_a for_o i_o and_o to_o tell_v

neither_o justify_v nor_o condemn_v and_o so_o if_o you_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n according_a to_o their_o meaning_n than_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o they_o say_v for_o why_o shall_v a_o man_n let_v the_o law_n come_v into_o his_o conscience_n that_o be_v why_o shall_v a_o man_n make_v any_o conscience_n of_o do_v the_o law_n to_o
