for_o the_o galathians_n may_v say_v why_o do_v thou_o inveigh_v so_o bitter_o against_o our_o teacher_n he_o for_o that_o they_o be_v jealous_a over_o we_o for_o that_o which_o they_o do_v they_o

of_o paul_n yet_o do_v baptism_n the_o word_n and_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n remain_v among_o they_o there_o be_v also_o some_o good_a man_n that_o be_v not_o revolt_v which_o have_v a_o good_a

for_o this_o distinction_n be_v plain_a that_o the_o law_n be_v a_o thing_n far_o differ_v from_o the_o promise_n promise_n yea_o natural_a reason_n although_o it_o be_v never_o so_o blind_a be_v
