for_o james_n speak_v of_o tho_o work_n which_o follow_v faith_n as_o he_o wytness_v when_o he_o say_v faith_n help_v his_o work_n so_o we_o must_v take_v the_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v

wherefore_o the_o sermon_n of_o daniel_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o almose_n deade_v but_o faith_n also_o be_v to_o be_v require_v in_o it_o the_o sermon_n of_o daniel_n be_v far_o

a_o very_a prophetical_a and_o a_o evangelical_a sentence_n which_o doubtless_o daniel_n will_v to_o be_v receyve_v by_o faith_n for_o daniel_n know_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v promise_v
