it_o not_o that_o he_o shall_v live_v holy_a and_o when_o righteousness_n than_o be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o creation_n and_o the_o law_n thereof_o how_o be_v this_o say_v to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o redemption_n i_o answer_v therefore_o righteousness_n or_o holiness_n as_o they_o be_v one_o we_o must_v know_v do_v lie_v in_o a_o conformity_n to_o the_o law_n which_o god_n give_v we_o
