and_o this_o be_v our_o spiritual_a brotherhood_n as_o be_v not_o so_o much_o one_o from_o our_o natural_a parent_n as_o one_o by_o our_o spiritual_a birth_n and_o regeneration_n in_o our_o baptism_n whereby_o be_v unite_v to_o our_o head_n christ_n we_o be_v all_o become_v member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n and_o this_o if_o any_o thing_n will_v enforce_v our_o love_n it_o be_v the_o
