together_o thou_o must_v then_o so_o endeavour_v after_o grace_n as_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v get_v by_o labour_n and_o not_o bestow_v by_o favour_n yet_o when_o thou_o have_v do_v all_o thou_o can_v thou_o must_v acknowledge_v grace_n to_o be_v free_a as_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o labour_v at_o all_o 2._o though_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o grace_n in_o christ_n 2._o yet_o let_v all_o such_o

in_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n union_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o communion_n compare_v and_o therefore_o we_o read_v first_o of_o receive_v christ_n and_o then_o afterward_o of_o receive_v of_o his_o fullness_n grace_n for_o grace_n though_o thou_o be_v near_o christ_n by_o profession_n yet_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o one_o with_o christ_n by_o faith_n thou_o can_v not_o
