other_o bud_n forth_o of_o that_o stock_n which_o be_v quicken_v by_o faith_n though_o sometime_o in_o some_o man_n less_o discernible_a by_o reason_n of_o corruption_n interpose_v for_o it_o usual_o thus_o fall_v out_o that_o our_o grace_n be_v but_o like_o the_o army_n of_o gedeon_n a_o small_a handful_n whereas_o our_o corruption_n be_v like_o the_o midianit_n which_o lie_v on_o the_o ground_n
