cast_v off_o from_o you_o the_o naughtiness_n of_o this_o world_n but_o put_v you_o on_o all_o virtue_n and_o equity_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o keep_v these_o command_n neither_o

to_o the_o desire_n of_o this_o world_n to_o they_o therefore_o there_o be_v not_o a_o return_v by_o repentance_n to_o life_n because_o they_o have_v add_v certain_a thing_n to_o their_o other_o

therefore_o these_o have_v fall_v away_o from_o the_o truth_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v as_o yet_o a_o hope_n reserve_v of_o life_n in_o repentance_n for_o defection_n have_v some_o hope_n of_o

the_o servant_n of_o god_n chief_o those_o who_o have_v sin_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o return_v to_o repentance_n but_o detain_v they_o with_o foolish_a doctrine_n these_o therefore_o have_v a_o

whosoever_o shall_v not_o have_v act_v repentance_n they_o shall_v loose_v both_o repentance_n and_o their_o life_n 32_o but_o these_o who_o have_v do_v repentance_n at_o first_o the_o wall_n have_v
