this_o inward_a teach_n because_o it_o be_v next_o to_o the_o heart_n work_v far_o more_o strong_o upon_o it_o then_o the_o outward_a do_v when_o man_n have_v more_o of_o this_o inward_a teach_n and_o

this_o but_o the_o contrary_n you_o see_v say_v s._n james_n how_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n 24._o and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o thou_o will_v say_v the_o father_n teach_v this_o

verbo_fw-la tenus_fw-la they_o prove_v but_o half-christians_a thou_o own_o conscience_n will_v preach_v better_o to_o thou_o for_o that_o will_v exclude_v no_o virtue_n and_o admit_v no_o vice_n
