in_o general_n so_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v love_n even_o towards_o all_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n oh_o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v of_o

be_v a_o main_a thing_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o many_o other_o particular_n as_o the_o infinite_a hatred_n that_o god_n have_v against_o sin_n and_o the_o great_a price_n pay_v for_o soul_n that_o
