cleave_v to_o the_o work_n defile_v it_o be_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o be_v avoid_v but_o not_o the_o work_n itself_o to_o be_v forbear_v for_o we_o have_v a_o absolute_a charge_n from_o

to_o the_o subdue_a of_o this_o corruption_n the_o like_a i_o may_v true_o say_v of_o other_o good_a work_n but_o this_o be_v warrant_n enough_o for_o i_o to_o conclude_v that_o the_o protestant_n

the_o imperfection_n only_o he_o will_v seem_v to_o take_v away_o this_o distinction_n by_o give_v particular_a instance_n against_o the_o truth_n thereof_o the_o general_a syllogism_n may_v be_v
