if_o we_o can_v get_v but_o so_o much_o time_n to_o think_v thus_o this_o that_o i_o be_o a_o go_n to_o act_n be_v that_o which_o bring_v jesus_n to_o his_o death_n that_o which_o god_n be_v so_o much_o anger_v with_o that_o he_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v appease_v for_o it_o but_o by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n this_o be_v that_o that_o jesus_n die_v to_o redeem_v i_o from_o that_o i_o

to_o undergo_v such_o a_o passion_n at_o his_o death_n and_o to_o undergo_v it_o not_o for_o any_o offence_n of_o his_o own_o but_o all_o for_o love_v of_o we_o to_o save_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n to_o redeem_v we_o from_o our_o iniquity_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o gild_n of_o they_o in_o our_o justification_n and_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o filth_n of_o they_o in_o our_o

have_v show_v we_o engage_v we_o to_o abstain_v from_o that_o which_o he_o so_o much_o abhor_v shall_v we_o violate_v the_o temple_n of_o his_o spirit_n shall_v we_o take_v the_o member_n of_o

forbid_v if_o we_o thus_o will_v meditate_v on_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o be_v under_o temptation_n to_o uncleanness_n the_o love_n of_o christ_n will_v damp_n and_o dead_a all_o other_o
