paul_n write_v to_o the_o thessalonian_n be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o assure_v they_o that_o their_o election_n be_v of_o god_n speak_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o certainty_n of_o knowledge_n ground_v

the_o outward_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n that_o there_o be_v a_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n so_o may_v we_o perceive_v by_o his_o work_n whether_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o man_n or_o no_o

so_o that_o even_o as_o we_o think_v that_o the_o graft_n be_v well_o join_v to_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o tree_n which_o it_o be_v graff_v into_o when_o we_o see_v it_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n

of_o his_o life_n though_o he_o have_v spend_v it_o whole_o in_o wickedness_n therefore_o see_v in_o deed_n it_o be_v not_o expedient_a nor_o meet_a for_o we_o to_o have_v knowledge_n to_o discern_v
