to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o christ_n jesus_n the_o light_n which_o be_v the_o life_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n though_o many_o set_v it_o at_o nought_o and_o will_v not_o

into_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n it_o will_v find_v you_o out_o do_v what_o you_o will_v it_o will_v declare_v the_o nature_n of_o your_o deed_n when_o you_o do_v evil_a at_o home_n

believe_v also_o not_o because_o of_o her_o word_n but_o by_o what_o they_o hear_v from_o he_o themselves_o say_v they_o know_v indeed_o that_o this_o be_v the_o very_a christ_n john_n 4.42_o so_o be_v entreat_v as_o a_o man_n will_v entreat_v his_o friend_n who_o he_o love_v to_o come_v with_o the_o samaritan_n and_o see_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o so_o as_o we_o have_v say_v she_o be_v but_o

and_o there_o hearken_v to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n mark_v the_o world_n be_v set_v in_o man_n heart_n eccles_n 3.11_o and_o when_o you_o have_v hear_v and_o obey_v for_o
