which_o do_v encourage_v we_o with_o sweet_a and_o love_a affect_n and_o motion_n last_o which_o do_v give_v testimony_n &_o bear_v witness_n unto_o our_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v the_o very_a son_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o that_o we_o although_o sin_n do_v boil_v with_o rage_n within_o our_o flesh_n have_v god_n for_o our_o father_n &_o may_v account_v ourselves_o his_o son_n if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o do_v daily_o by_o the_o spirit_n wrestle_v against_o the_o flesh_n now_o because_o nothing_o be_v more_o profitable_a to_o the_o mortify_n of_o the_o old_a adam_n the_o flesh_n than_o the_o cross_n tribulation_n &_o affliction_n that_o be_v the_o apostle_n do_v here_o comfort_v we_o in_o these_o tribulation_n affirm_v that_o the_o spirit_n do_v make_v intercession_n and_o request_n

with_o we_o until_o this_o body_n of_o sin_n be_v abolish_v and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o these_o three_o last_o chapter_n do_v urge_v
