soul_n from_o the_o which_o sin_n chief_o do_v proceed_v for_o the_o body_n shall_v not_o sin_v at_o all_o if_o sin_n be_v not_o first_o in_o the_o soul_n m._n why_o say_v thou_o so_o p._n forsomuch_o

that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o a_o prophet_n have_v none_o other_o power_n but_o to_o show_v forth_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o mouth_n as_o the_o other_o minister_n of_o the_o same_o do_v a_o but_o beside_o that_o he_o have_v the_o power_n to_o imprint_v the_o same_o in_o their_o heart_n by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o to_o give_v it_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n in_o they_o m._n thy_o meaning_n be_v then_o that_o the_o other_o prophet_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v not_o that_o power_n p._n not_o of_o themselves_o but_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o jesus_n christ_n do_v work_v in_o they_o and_o in_o their_o ministry_n by_o the_o divine_a power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o command_v his_o apostle_n to_o go_v
