hardly_o do_v thou_o be_v bridle_v up_o so_o high_a with_o that_o golden_a chain_n about_o thy_o neck_n call_v mystery_n but_o thou_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v

also_o that_o we_o wrestle_v not_o against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o against_o principality_n and_o power_n and_o yet_o thou_o will_v say_v that_o he_o wrestle_v against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n so_o that_o thou_o see_v the_o word_n not_o do_v imply_v something_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v i_o have_v write_v unto_o you_o not_z to_o keep_v company_n with_o such_o and_o such_o and_o yet_o not_o altogether_o refrain_v for_o than_o thou_o must_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o thou_o see_v the_o word_n not_o do_v imply_v something_o for_o the_o word_n not_o and_o the_o word_n nothing_o be_v all_o one_o and_o signify_v one_o thing_n and_o so_o paul_n be_v not_o send_v to_o preach_v that_o be_v not_o only_o send_v to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v christ_n tell_v his_o
