own_o eye_n but_o then_o some_o will_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a object_n that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v go_v before_o if_o the_o gospel_n do_v it_o yes_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n be_v notwithstanding_o as_o a_o preparative_n in_o all_o that_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o answ._n the_o church_n there_o be_v some_o knowledge_n in_o the_o law_n that_o praecede_v but_o
