this_o we_o have_v experience_n in_o the_o common_a civility_n of_o life_n but_o with_o god_n there_o be_v no_o prejudice_n for_o he_o be_v the_o searcher_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o john_n say_v

just_o some_o man_n believe_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n because_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n and_o endue_v with_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n by_o he_o for_o unless_o he_o thus_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n he_o be_v unable_a to_o perform_v any_o thing_n just_o and_o right_o or_o to_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n this_o the_o lord_n himself_o confirm_v upon_o peter_n
