we_o read_v gal_n 3.10_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v so_o many_o as_o be_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n for_o it_o be_v write_v curse_v be_v every_o man_n that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o the_o which_o scripture_n in_o moses_n deut_n 27._o follow_v after_o a_o
