resurrection_n if_o in_o this_o life_n only_o we_o have_v hope_n in_o christ_n we_o be_v of_o all_o man_n the_o most_o miserable_a for_o beside_o the_o cross_n and_o calamity_n whereunto_o we_o be_v

if_o death_n have_v dominion_n over_o we_o so_o that_o the_o sorrow_n thereof_o can_v not_o be_v loose_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v hold_v of_o it_o what_o avayl_v it_o we_o to_o be_v in_o

the_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o place_n to_o the_o corinthian_n if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n therefore_o to_o comfort_v we_o not_o only_o againstal_v the_o affliction_n of_o this_o
