like_o lamb_n they_o die_v without_o any_o hope_n like_o senseless_a and_o reasonless_a creature_n that_o know_v little_a more_o than_o the_o beast_n and_o so_o have_v scarce_o any_o more_o either_o

1.5_o rev._n 1.5_o from_o their_o sinfullnesse_n never_o bring_v into_o christ_n and_o justify_v through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o yet_o these_o i_o confess_v may_v have_v hope_n and_o walk_v
