of_o bellarmine_n therefore_o we_o demand_v why_o saint_n paul_n shall_v instance_n in_o abraham_n his_o purpose_n be_v as_o he_o and_o all_o his_o fellow_n agree_v only_o to_o show_v that_o the_o

to_o show_v a_o maiori_fw-la that_o a_o just_a man_n be_v make_v more_o just_a by_o work_n and_o not_o of_o faith_n only_o see_v rahab_n of_o a_o harlot_n be_v make_v just_a by_o work_n not_o by_o
