as_o he_o suffer_v from_o man_n so_o he_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n observe_v then_o that_o as_o he_o suffer_v for_o sin_n so_o no_o man_n take_v away_o his_o life_n but_o as_o he_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n so_o they_o slay_v he_o by_o wicked_a hand_n what_o be_v it_o then_o christ_n must_v needs_o have_v suffer_v and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n have_v so_o ordain_v that_o

this_o man_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o have_v power_n to_o die_v be_v that_o he_o may_v offer_v his_o offer_n willing_o and_o at_o the_o season_n 1._o willing_o if_o
