and_o this_o duty_n of_o not_o wrong_v other_o be_v very_o much_o improve_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o our_o saviour_n have_v there_o advance_v it_o to_o a_o high_a pitch_n than_o it_o be_v

to_o love_v they_o as_o true_o and_o sincere_o as_o we_o do_v ourselves_o than_o it_o be_v pass_v all_o doubt_n that_o we_o must_v not_o do_v any_o manner_n of_o wrong_n to_o they_o for_o there_o be_v
