jesus_n christ_n therefore_o repentance_n and_o faith_n seem_v to_o be_v diverse_a not_o that_o true_a repentance_n can_v be_v without_o faith_n but_o because_o they_o must_v be_v distinguish_v &_o

after_o the_o supper_n do_v beat_v upon_o nothing_o so_o much_o as_o the_o very_o same_o thing_n against_o which_o they_o set_v shoulder_n to_o wit_n that_o christ_n will_v be_v absent_a in_o body_n

neither_o do_v saint_n paul_n say_v that_o christ_n spirit_n and_o life_n do_v live_v in_o he_o or_o dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n but_o he_o say_v simple_o that_o christ_n do_v dwell_v in_o our_o
