they_o all_o see_v therefore_o we_o can_v serve_v god_n and_o our_o lustful_a pleasure_n at_o the_o same_o time_n let_v we_o own_o our_o own_o master_n his_o servant_n we_o be_v to_o who_o we_o obey_v

second_o which_o be_v the_o other_o part_n of_o my_o conclusion_n the_o pursuance_n of_o all_o sensual_a pleasure_n be_v high_o dishonourable_a also_o to_o man_n as_o christian._n this_o may_v be_v learn_v from_o that_o argument_n of_o st_n paul_n 1_o cor._n 6.19_o know_v you_o not_o that_o your_o body_n be_v temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v as_o church_n and_o temple_n be_v
