be_v a_o worthless_a faith_n though_o it_o be_v faith_n alone_o that_o justify_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o alone_a solitary_a unaccompanied_a faith_n though_o it_o be_v the_o fore_a finger_n alone_o that_o point_n in_o the_o hand_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o alone_a when_o it_o point_n faith_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v like_o a_o queen_n attend_v with_o a_o royal_a train_n of_o other_o grace_n as_o
