the_o take_n of_o they_o away_o as_o a_o benefit_n to_o the_o colossian_n see_v that_o nothing_o be_v more_o evident_a than_o that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v lay_v on_o none_o by_o god_n but_o

before_o have_v respect_n to_o this_o but_o to_o pass_v this_o conjecture_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o jewish_a rite_n have_v a_o double_a testification_n the_o one_o direct_v which_o respect_v their_o own_o person_n that_o worship_v with_o they_o the_o other_o indirect_a by_o force_n of_o consequent_a only_a and_o thus_o they_o do_v witness_v the_o guilt_n of_o all_o the_o world_n
