invisible_a sacrifice_n we_o ourselves_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n thus_o s._n augustine_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o exterior_a visible_a sacrifice_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o invisible_a sacrifice_n of_o our_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o of_o his_o dominion_n over_o we_o and_o our_o subjection_n unto_o he_o as_o sounding_z or_o articulate_a word_n be_v sign_n of_o thing_n
