it_o may_v be_v question_v what_o need_v we_o be_v change_v we_o desire_v rather_o to_o go_v to_o god_n in_o this_o body_n we_o desire_v supervestiri_a to_o be_v over-clad_a rather_o with_o the_o

overcome_v the_o evil_a of_o that_o work_n for_o our_o victory_n consist_v especial_o in_o our_o faith_n 5.14_o 1_o john_n 5.14_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n whereby_o we_o overcome_v the_o world_n

that_o apprehend_v the_o victory_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o conquest_n that_o christ_n have_v impute_v and_o impart_v to_o we_o a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o good_a work_n have_v no_o

when_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o deliver_v the_o reward_n to_o give_v the_o retribution_n he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o examine_v the_o dignity_n of_o the_o work_n but_o the_o dignity_n and_o soundness_n
