conservant_o to_o continue_v that_o state_n then_o it_o will_v plain_o appear_v concern_v paul_n and_o james_n that_o neither_o of_o their_o doctrine_n be_v a_o paradox_n that_o neither_o be_v to_o

therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v as_o saint_n james_n teach_v that_o good_a work_n do_v continue_v and_o maintain_v the_o state_n of_o it_o for_o although_o they_o do_v not_o procreate_v or_o build_v that_o state_n yet_o they_o preserve_v and_o uphold_v it_o from_o that_o destruction_n and_o ruin_n which_o evil_a work_n will_v bring_v upon_o it_o again_o because_o as_o paul_n teach_v my_o
