to_o define_v for_o satisfaction_n take_v these_o ground_n and_o all_o be_v well_o first_o of_o all_o that_o christ_n be_v perfect_o glorious_a now_o in_o heaven_n both_o body_n and_o soul_n there_o

first_o he_o must_v die_v and_o suffer_v and_o then_o enter_v into_o glory_n again_o remember_v this_o for_o a_o ground_n that_o christ_n as_o man_n merit_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o union_n or_o
