forsake_v all_o for_o christ_n at_o his_o conversion_n he_o forsake_v all_o as_o a_o condition_n that_o be_v without_o this_o i_o can_v partake_v of_o he_o for_o a_o man_n must_v sell_v all_o if_o

he_o second_o at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o dissolution_n when_o a_o godly_a man_n come_v to_o die_v he_o see_v all_o thing_n here_o below_o take_v their_o leaf_n of_o he_o his_o friend_n his_o
