not_o to_o spread_v divulge_v much_o less_o to_o confront_v a_o establishment_n with_o they_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o all_o their_o preach_n establish_v no_o one_o

just_o add_v not_o as_o a_o schismatic_a nor_o as_o a_o rebel_n yet_o if_o any_o man_n suffer_v as_o a_o christian_a let_v he_o not_o be_v ashamed_a but_o let_v he_o glorify_v god_n on_o this_o
