sacrifice_v do_v please_v but_o cain_n sacrifice_v without_o faith_n presume_v upon_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o work_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_v though_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n unto_o his_o

study_n of_o obedience_n sacrifice_n so_o then_o the_o work_n of_o christian_n be_v call_v sacrifice_n by_o a_o certain_a relation_n unto_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a jew_n for_o as_o they_o be_v command_v from_o heaven_n to_o the_o priest_n be_v choose_v apply_v sanctify_a and_o accept_v so_o in_o our_o sacrifice_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o there_o be_v à_fw-fr commandement_fw-fr

wherefore_o as_o through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v sanctify_v so_o also_o through_o christ_n as_o peter_n say_v they_o be_v acceptable_a for_o christ_n make_v our_o obedience_n
