of_o christ_n neither_o will_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n receive_v thy_o exhortation_n but_o turn_v it_o back_o upon_o thou_o from_o whence_o it_o come_v and_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n exhort_v

which_o thou_o be_v of_o who_o be_v give_v up_o to_o believe_v lie_v and_o herein_o we_o follow_v he_o who_o be_v go_v before_o we_o who_o be_v hate_v and_o reject_v of_o man_n a_o man_n of_o sorrow_n

then_o for_o evil_a do_n for_o jesus_n christ_n have_v suffer_v the_o just_a for_o the_o unjust_a that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o unto_o god_n and_o for_o this_o faith_n do_v we_o contend_v which_o
