that_o they_o speak_v no_o more_o in_o his_o name_n and_o this_o they_o do_v against_o their_o conscience_n by_o their_o own_o profession_n we_o can_v deny_v it_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v if_o

when_o we_o will_v make_v other_o sin_n against_o their_o conscience_n 9_o the_o pharisee_n when_o the_o blind_a man_n will_v not_o say_v as_o they_o say_v they_o cast_v he_o out_o they_o will_v

the_o gentile_n that_o will_v hold_v correspondency_n with_o the_o jew_n will_v have_v constrain_v the_o galatian_n to_o be_v circumcise_v gal._n 6._o 12._o those_o that_o know_v that_o circumcision_n

that_o may_v convince_v they_o and_o their_o conscience_n therefore_o he_o say_v they_o constrain_v they_o the_o persuader_n may_v indeed_o glory_v as_o have_v their_o cause_n and_o side_n
