which_o think_v all_o outward_a compliment_n to_o be_v sufficient_a without_o this_o work_n which_o here_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o holy_a prophet_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o fear_n and_o

by_o repentance_n can_v a_o man_n justify_v and_o sanctify_v say_v he_o be_v a_o man_n pollute_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v doubtless_o he_o be_v so_o he_o therefore_o complain_v here_o not_o of_o any_o
