to_o these_o three_o you_o will_v add_v likewise_o a_o four_o consideration_n it_o may_v be_v this_o that_o if_o god_n have_v bestow_v a_o gratuitous_a remission_n upon_o the_o world_n that_o be_v

without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o can_v be_v no_o forgiveness_n it_o follow_v plain_o that_o nothing_o less_o than_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o god_n himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n will_v serve_v
