against_o preach_v of_o god_n word_n that_o it_o make_v man_n never_o the_o better_a and_o you_o will_v have_v they_o leave_v talk_v and_o fall_v to_o do_v i_o confess_v there_o be_v a_o number_n

god_n call_v man_n to_o repentance_n to_o turn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n god_n guide_v his_o servant_n at_o all_o time_n with_o his_o spirit_n therefore_o s._n paul_n say_v rom._n 8._o there_o
