that_o give_v we_o admission_n into_o curch-fellowship_n with_o the_o saint_n a._n the_o command_v of_o christ_n be_v not_o empty_a and_o barren_a command_n but_o full_a of_o power_n and_o efficacy_n when_o christ_n come_v forth_o in_o a_o command_n than_o there_o be_v a_o work_n wrought_v indeed_o if_o christ_n say_v to_o a_o dead_a man_n live_v then_o 14._o be_v he_o quicken_v indeed_o if_o he_o
