because_o he_o have_v it_o only_o from_o the_o father_n this_o be_v that_o same_o in_o john_n as_o the_o father_n have_v life_n in_o himself_o so_o have_v he_o give_v to_o the_o son_n to_o have_v

thou_o have_v need_v of_o thy_o servant_n that_o he_o may_v serve_v thou_o but_o god_n be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o man_n but_o every_o man_n have_v need_v of_o he_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o every_o man_n shall_v return_v his_o be_v to_o he_o again_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o man_n piety_n as_o job_n speak_v can_v a_o man_n be_v profitable_a to_o god_n there_o be_v no_o benefit_n that_o a_o man_n can_v yield_v to_o god_n but_o man_n receive_v all_o from_o he_o and_o he_o may_v take_v all_o away_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o serve_v he_o no_o man_n will_v say_v that_o god_n have_v need_n of_o we_o if_o a_o man_n go_v to_o a_o river_n &_o drink_v to_o satisfy_v his_o thirst_n will_v a_o man_n say_v the_o
