because_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o who_o be_v without_o a_o law_n and_o a_o law_n to_o themselves_o which_o can_v not_o be_v true_a of_o gentile_n convert_v we_o take_v the_o apostle_n therefore_o to_o speak_v of_o gentile_n abide_v so_o but_o in_o this_o sense_n there_o be_v also_o a_o dangeron_n exposition_n and_o a_o sound_a one_o the_o poisonous_a interpretation_n be_v of_o

the_o same_o time_n while_o they_o do_v disclaim_v it_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v show_v present_o they_o hold_v such_o assertion_n as_o do_v necessary_o infer_v the_o abrogation_n of_o it_o 3._o the_o
