that_o make_v the_o difference_n of_o walk_v use_v 4._o then_o hence_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o put_v too_o much_o in_o any_o outward_a form_n i_o be_o not_o of_o their_o mind_n who_o be_v

in_o it_o make_v that_o the_o main_a lay_v the_o stress_n of_o their_o whole_a religion_n there_o now_o i_o desire_v this_o may_v be_v consider_v of_o we_o all_o that_o the_o main_a gospel-walking_a
