the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n his_o resurrection_n and_o also_o the_o righteousness_n which_o he_o shall_v have_v by_o he_o because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n that_o make_v the_o man_n good_a but_o the_o man_n that_o make_v the_o work_n good_a for_o you_o must_v well_o know_v that_o if_o abraham_n have_v not_o believe_v the_o lord_n he_o have_v not_o be_v count_v righteous_a speak_v for_o

to_o the_o end_n that_o those_o who_o he_o 10._o have_v elect_v in_o christ_n shall_v walk_v in_o they_o but_o not_o in_o any_o respect_n for_o man_n to_o think_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o
