but_o if_o they_o have_v do_v this_o their_o faith_n have_v clear_o fail_v yet_o because_o they_o sin_v notorious_o &_o grievous_o commit_v that_o which_o they_o know_v to_o be_v express_o forbid_v by_o the_o law_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v necessary_a it_o be_v that_o he_o which_o purpose_v to_o save_v their_o soul_n
