of_o chaff_n preserve_v from_o burn_v be_v it_o not_o because_o there_o be_v some_o corn_n some_o wheat_n mix_v therewith_o if_o the_o corn_n be_v once_o out_o will_v not_o the_o lord_n as_o man_n

the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o which_o shall_v have_v a_o form_n of_o religion_n without_o the_o zeal_n and_o power_n and_o life_n of_o it_o and_o if_o zeal_n turn_v away_o god_n wrath_n certain_o

again_o lord_n do_v zeal_n turn_v away_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n then_o where_o be_v our_o zealous_a affection_n why_o be_v we_o not_o zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n and_o zealous_a against_o

and_o mark_v it_o well_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o abstain_v from_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o that_o alone_a that_o god_n will_v accept_v but_o he_o look_v that_o you_o shall_v hate_v sin_n as_o it_o

cleanse_v yourselves_o from_o all_o pollusion_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n if_o you_o will_v be_v zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n then_o know_v that_o this_o be_v require_v that_o you_o not_o

wise_a to_o purify_v to_o himself_o a_o peculiar_a people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n 2.14_o if_o man_n may_v run_v out_o their_o age_n in_o sin_n and_o christ_n forgive_v they_o in_o the_o end_n
