wheresoever_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v present_a christ_n himself_o will_v be_v present_a also_o and_o therefore_o if_o they_o who_o desert_n his_o school_n must_v thereby_o lose_v the_o

the_o impossibility_n of_o it_o as_o to_o the_o former_a we_o have_v already_o see_v that_o the_o fall_v here_o describe_v be_v a_o fall_n from_o their_o baptismal_a state_n and_o therefore_o the_o
