and_o not_o esteem_v of_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o we_o can_v understand_v by_o this_o that_o our_o work_v be_v to_o be_v so_o perfect_a that_o the_o law_n must_v not_o be_v break_v for_o then_o what_o will_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n signify_v to_o we_o who_o be_v it_o that_o ever_o live_v so_o holy_a but_o every_o day_n break_v the_o law_n though_o against_o his_o desire_n but_o more_o of_o this_o in_o another_o place_n as_o to_o the_o scripture_n which_o seem_v to_o plead_v for_o perfection_n of_o good_a work_v and_o faith_n in_o this_o life_n or_o no_o salvation_n which_o be_v that_o vbeliever_n fearful_a and_o all_o liar_n shall_v have_v their_o portion_n in_o the_o lake_n rom._n 21._o 8._o point_n that_o such_o perfection_n be_v give_v after_o this_o life_n
