you_o say_v that_o a_o saint_n after_o believe_v may_v fear_v again_o which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a object_n why_o do_v the_o apostle_n say_v we_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o we_o must_v know_v paul_n be_v not_o there_o go_v about_o sol._n to_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o fear_v again_o but_o
