this_o sort_n of_o man_n the_o apostle_n saint_n james_n think_v it_o necessary_a to_o oppose_v himself_o 6_o so_o that_o saint_n james_n do_v not_o dispute_v against_o saint_n paul_n but_o for_o the_o right_a meaning_n of_o s._n paul_n against_o those_o that_o deprave_a and_o wrest_a his_o doctrine_n to_o a_o wrong_a sense_n paul_n so_o defend_v justification_n by_o faith_n without_o work_n

again_o we_o have_v receive_v to_o believe_v the_o whole_a truth_n and_o therefore_o be_v a_o oxthodoxall_a not_o a_o heretical_a church_n last_o we_o hold_v the_o whole_a truth_n of_o god_n in_o
