and_o christ_n reign_v and_o how_o can_v faith_n reign_v there_o and_o by_o faith_n christ_n where_o sin_n and_o satan_n reign_v the_o parable_n of_o christ_n be_v famous_a when_o the_o strong_a man_n

therefore_o do_v they_o persevere_v therein_o the_o four_o that_o yet_o oftentimes_o through_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n they_o do_v admit_v something_n which_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n and_o so_o
