what_o he_o have_v suffer_v in_o their_o behalf_n 2._o as_o to_o the_o motive_n of_o christ_n admirable_a example_n we_o have_v show_v of_o what_o little_a efficacy_n this_o be_v make_v by_o the_o vile_a example_n of_o his_o vicar_n and_o vicegerent_n and_o their_o spiritual_a guide_n whereunto_o i_o will_v add_v this_o passage_n of_o the_o say_a sir_n edwin_n 137_o that_o the_o iniquity_n of_o
