of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o gospel_n where_o he_o recite_v short_o the_o sum_n of_o god_n commandment_n do_v say_v the_o first_o of_o all_o the_o commandment_n be_v hear_v oh_o israel_n the_o lord_n

that_o time_n certain_a convert_v of_o the_o gentile_n who_o think_v it_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o enter_v into_o idol_n temple_n and_o be_v partaker_n of_o thing_n offer_v to_o idol_n because_o a_o

of_o sin_n be_v make_v manifest_a this_o action_n therefore_o even_o as_o all_o sin_n else_o do_v do_v direct_o tend_v against_o god_n law_n but_o what_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v i_o have_v in_o my_o former_a sermon_n at_o large_a declare_v very_o it_o be_v none_o other_o but_o the_o very_a will_n of_o god_n now_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v like_a unto_o his_o
