for_o see_v the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v 3.37_o as_o many_o of_o you_o as_o be_v baptise_a into_o christ_n have_v put_v on_o christ_n in_o our_o captive-brethren_n we_o must_v contemplate_v christ_n

whether_o every_o one_o of_o we_o will_v do_v for_o his_o brother_n that_o which_o he_o will_v have_v to_o be_v do_v for_o himself_o if_o he_o be_v now_o in_o bond_n under_o the_o barbarian_n for_o what_o man_n who_o be_v mindful_a of_o humanity_n and_o well_o advise_v of_o christian_a charity_n if_o he_o be_v a_o father_n do_v not_o think_v that_o his_o son_n be_v there_o if_o he_o be_v a_o

so_o much_o the_o bond_n of_o barbarian_n as_o the_o impurity_n of_o bawd_n and_o brothel_n be_v to_o be_v bemoan_v with_o tear_n lest_o the_o member_n dedicate_v unto_o christ_n shall_v be_v defile_v
