the_o fruition_n of_o heavenly_a joy_n and_o so_o paul_n wish_v here_o not_o so_o much_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o christ_n the_o

no_o cause_n be_v deprive_v of_o christ_n love_n but_o he_o be_v content_a to_o lose_v his_o part_n in_o heaven_n for_o christ_n glory_n doctrine_n we_o ought_v to_o redeem_v the_o salvation_n of_o
