not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o own_o seek_v to_o find_v what_o he_o seek_v but_o in_o he_o to_o give_v therefore_o he_o put_v he_o upon_o that_o which_o he_o be_v never_o able_a to_o do_v that_o

the_o error_n of_o balaam_n for_o reward_n second_o because_o he_o leap_v over_o a_o sanctify_a life_n 11._o epist_n judas_n 11._o only_o desire_v to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a thus_o do_v the_o proud_a and_o covetous_a priest_n pharisee_n and_o scribe_n the_o great_a professor_n of_o those_o time_n true_o believe_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n deliver_v they_o by_o moses_n
