may_v speak_v of_o it_o under_o the_o term_n of_o a_o law_n of_o faith_n or_o understanding_n by_o law_n the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o if_o they_o plead_v that_o the_o true_a and_o

wherefore_o the_o true_a proper_a office_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o wrestle_v with_o the_o law_n to_o conquer_v and_o abolish_v sin_n and_o death_n to_o deliver_v the_o faithful_a from_o the_o law_n and_o all_o evil_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o christ_n and_o a_o lawgiver_n that_o when_o the_o devil_n go_v about_o to_o trouble_v we_o under_o his_o name_n we_o may_v
