a_o fellow-member_n of_o that_o mystical_a body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n o_o what_o a_o mercy_n be_v it_o to_o be_v hearty_o affect_v with_o the_o afflict_a to_o have_v the_o same_o

when_o i_o consider_v that_o all_o the_o saint_n have_v but_o one_o god_n one_o father_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n one_o love_n one_o spirit_n who_o dwell_v in_o they_o all_o and_o run_v through_o

be_v scatter_v abroad_o in_o this_o wide_a wild_a world_n and_o distinct_a in_o the_o flesh_n from_o one_o another_o yet_o be_v they_o one_o in_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o love_v sympathize_v sorrow_n
