without_o the_o which_o no_o man_n can_v turn_v untoo_o god_n for_o by_o faith_n as_o say_v paul_n we_o have_v access_n untoo_o god_n moreover_o where_o as_o be_v add_v make_v too_o yourselves_o a_o

make_v the_o whole_a life_n from_o thencefoorth_o allowable_a before_o god_n this_o thing_n we_o may_v see_v plain_o in_o this_o notable_a example_n david_n after_o his_o horrible_a fall_n intoo_o

as_o this_o there_o be_v many_o as_o of_o adam_n manasses_n peter_n the_o thief_n and_o mary_n magdalene_n and_o other_o which_o thing_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o think_v upon_o that_o by_o their_o
