proceed_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n for_o this_o be_v unto_o we_o the_o beginning_n of_o well_o do_v when_o we_o be_v sanctify_v by_o his_o spirit_n for_o it_o rest_v upon_o he_o that_o of_o

christ_n who_o by_o his_o live_a root_n do_v make_v we_o fruitful_a tree_n according_a to_o that_o in_o john_n 15.1_o i_o be_o the_o vine_n you_o be_v the_o branch_n he_o show_v also_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v serve_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o no_o life_n be_v so_o excellent_a in_o show_n which_o be_v not_o pollute_v and_o stink_v before_o god_n except_o it_o be_v direct_v unto_o this_o mark_n whereas_o paul_n here_o name_v righteousness_n of_o work_n it_o make_v nothing_o against_o the_o free_a righteousness_n of_o faith_n for_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v by_o and_o by_o that_o there_o be_v righteousness_n where_o there_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n because_o that_o righteousness_n before_o god_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o a_o full_a and_o sound_a

the_o other_o of_o love_n know_v that_o i_o be_o set_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o gospel_n 12_o i_o will_v have_v you_o know_v we_o all_o have_v experience_n in_o ourselves_o how_o much_o the_o

if_o we_o be_v amaze_v with_o some_o new_a sight_n either_o we_o run_v away_o or_o be_v afraid_a and_o not_o only_o in_o our_o own_o person_n but_o also_o in_o the_o person_n of_o they_o which_o

and_o it_o be_v credible_a that_o evil_a laborer_n which_o gape_v for_o every_o little_a occasion_n to_o hurt_v do_v not_o cease_v to_o rejoice_v at_o the_o calamity_n of_o the_o good_a man_n and_o thereof_o do_v make_v his_o gospel_n to_o be_v despise_v and_o if_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o can_v not_o profit_v they_o be_v ready_a to_o revile_v he_o because_o he_o be_v hate_v of_o the_o whole_a
