resurrection_n have_v entertain_v the_o great_a demonstration_n in_o the_o world_n that_o nothing_o can_v make_v we_o happy_a but_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o conformity_n to_o the_o life_n

because_o he_o also_o say_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o order_n for_o every_o man_n and_o yet_o every_o man_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o christ_n therefore_o indirect_o also_o he_o imply_v the_o more_o
