vi._n 1_o cor._n 15.56_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v sin_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o law_n solomon_n tell_v thus_o 3.2_o that_o there_o be_v a_o season_n for_o every_o thing_n

that_o that_o god_n have_v appoint_v we_o we_o be_v draw_v off_o from_o
be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o but_o that_o man_n may_v come_v to_o this_o conclusion_n with_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v bring_v his_o own_o heart_n to_o a_o reckon_n for_o his_o former_a
