text_n oppose_v these_o two_o spirit_n and_o truth_n to_o the_o gross_a legal_a and_o jewish_a way_n of_o worship_n to_o that_o he_o oppose_v the_o spirit_n to_o the_o false_a idolatrous_a and_o samaritan_n way_n to_o that_o he_o oppose_v the_o truth_n so_o that_o to_o worship_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v no_o more_o according_a to_o the_o letter_n than_o only_o thus_o the_o hour_n be_v come_v and_o now_o be_v when_o the_o law_n shall_v give_v way_n to_o the_o gospel_n moses_n to_o christ_n the_o jewish_a worship_n which_o be_v then_o by_o bullock_n goat_n and_o lamb_n to_o a_o spiritual_a worship_n which_o shall_v require_v no_o such_o sacrifice_n no_o such_o oblation_n and_o in_o order_n to_o the_o samaritan_n thus_o the_o time_n be_v come_v and_o now_o be_v when_o you_o

under_o the_o gospel_n these_o be_v the_o outward_a evidence_n of_o inward_a grace_n the_o outward_a manifestation_n of_o inward_a piety_n as_o devout_o to_o frequent_v christian_a church_n and_o to_o
