be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n what_o filthy_a rag_n thy_o righteousness_n yea_o all_o our_o righteousness_n as_o filthy_a rag_n why_o filthy_a rag_n defile_v we_o many_o think_v o_o their_o good_a work_n

in_o they_o and_o especial_o when_o they_o be_v not_o do_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o in_o his_o strength_n and_o for_o his_o honour_n and_o

it_o be_v not_o to_o second_o cause_n it_o be_v to_o the_o l._n c._n that_o we_o owe_v the_o success_n of_o all_o when_o we_o do_v thing_n in_o his_o name_n and_o for_o his_o sake_n he_o do_v bless_v

the_o success_n and_o the_o blessing_n seven_o if_o we_o must_v do_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o let_v we_o examine_v we_o who_o be_v christian_n and_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n let_v we_o examine_v whether_o we_o do_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v good_a to_o know_v in_o who_o name_n you_o do_v your_o action_n you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v already_o do_v you_o do_v all_o in_o the_o authority_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o strength_n of_o

the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n than_o you_o do_v it_o in_o his_o name_n but_o to_o add_v some_o few_o thing_n more_o first_o you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o this_o if_o you_o do_v thing_n in_o christ_n name_n than_o you_o do_v consult_v much_o with_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o take_v counsel_n from_o he_o and_o from_o his_o word_n you_o will_v not_o trust_v your_o own_o head_n nor_o trust_v your_o
