that_o we_o must_v preach_v of_o namely_o the_o gospel_n as_o touch_v the_o first_o let_v we_o see_v how_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v particular_o and_o special_o apply_v to_o

by_o compare_v they_o together_o and_o by_o use_v some_o apt_a similitude_n for_o the_o explanation_n of_o this_o matter_n the_o smell_n or_o sight_n of_o meat_n do_v good_a to_o the_o hungry_a man_n
