the_o procreant_a cause_n of_o it_o for_o the_o zeal_n of_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o make_v paul_n love_v they_o for_o in_o this_o zeal_n they_o crucify_v christ_n persecute_v the_o gospel_n and_o

and_o wish_v his_o zeal_n be_v well_o direct_v but_o i_o commend_v not_o his_o zeal_n when_o i_o read_v the_o story_n of_o alexander_n cicero_n etc._n etc._n i_o love_v their_o remembrance_n for_o
