a_o confident_a persuasion_n for_o in_o the_o 35._o verse_n the_o apostle_n have_v confident_o insult_v over_o all_o danger_n what_o shall_v separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o

nothing_o shall_v separate_v he_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o i_o be_o sure_a do_v he_o so_o confident_o insult_v over_o all_o danger_n because_o he_o suppose_v or_o have_v some_o probable_a

certain_o persuade_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o hurt_v he_o therefore_o he_o may_v and_o do_v safe_o and_o confident_o insult_v over_o they_o therefore_o this_o a_o confident_a persuasion_n again_o in_o the_o 30._o verse_n he_o have_v pronounce_v himself_o a_o conqueror_n yea_o more_o than_o a_o conqueror_n as_o if_o the_o victory_n be_v already_o get_v in_o all_o these_o thing_n we_o be_v

before_o he_o be_v sure_a of_o the_o conquest_n that_o be_v a_o proud_a and_o a_o vain_a boast_n which_o paul_n be_v free_a from_o but_o he_o do_v pronounce_v himself_o a_o conqueror_n upon_o this_o
