may_v just_o draw_v down_o condemnation_n upon_o one_o especial_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o these_o element_n be_v ordain_v for_o such_o a_o sacred_a use_n do_v not_o a_o man_n become_v a_o

if_o you_o mark_v the_o connexion_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n you_o shall_v see_v most_o evident_o that_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o danger_n for_o whereas_o he_o before_o he_o have_v
