thus_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o faith_n will_v do_v very_o great_a thing_n and_o thus_o now_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n i_o come_v to_o the_o application_n applic._n 1_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a true_a save_a faith_n will_v do_v great_a thing_n and_o very_o great_a thing_n then_o we_o may_v here_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o man_n do_v no_o great_a thing_n for_o god_n why_o man_n do_v no_o great_a thing_n in_o their_o generation_n and_o why_o there_o be_v no_o great_a thing_n in_o their_o generation_n and_o why_o there_o be_v no_o great_a thing_n find_v
