of_o god_n second_o we_o must_v considre_v how_o plentiful_a the_o grace_n of_o god_n give_v to_o we_o in_o baptism_n be_v wherein_o his_o bountuousnes_n and_o love_n towards_o man_n true_o appear_v

of_o grace_n so_o that_o nothing_o can_v separate_v we_o from_o he_o or_o condemn_v us._n wherefore_o henceforth_o we_o must_v not_o only_o eschew_v sin_n but_o also_o fear_v they_o and_o abhor_v
