so_o have_v now_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n come_v we_o now_o to_o some_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n that_o this_o verse_n will_v afford_v we_o and_o first_o we_o see_v it_o here_o

of_o dignity_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o good_a and_o godly_a parent_n we_o read_v rom._n 16._o that_o the_o apostle_n often_o remember_v this_o as_o a_o honour_n to_o such_o and_o such_o that_o
