the_o gentile_n never_o gentile_n use_v that_o word_n which_o the_o heathen_a at_o that_o time_n do_v not_o understand_v but_o where_o occasion_n so_o require_v they_o retain_v the_o word_n hade_n

be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o christian_a faith_n now_o hade_n with_o the_o pagan_n be_v a_o place_n under_o the_o earth_n where_o the_o wicked_a after_o this_o life_n be_v punish_v this_o be_v
