according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o paul_n he_o shall_v magnify_v this_o his_o calling_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v win_v credit_n and_o authority_n among_o the_o people_n like_v as_o the_o

this_o be_v a_o notable_a place_n therefore_o wherein_o paul_n so_o glory_v and_o boast_v as_o touch_v his_o vocation_n that_o he_o despise_v all_o other_o if_o any_o man_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o
