transgressor_n and_o so_o conclude_v to_o be_v one_o that_o love_v not_o christ_n though_o i_o make_v a_o noise_n of_o my_o obedience_n to_o christ_n and_o of_o my_o partake_n of_o his_o

what_o he_o must_v do_v to_o honour_v the_o christ_n that_o he_o profess_v aright_o therefore_o he_o that_o keep_v the_o commandment_n love_v his_o brother_n yea_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o

where_o these_o be_v leave_v for_o the_o furtherance_n of_o the_o faith_n this_o be_v manifest_a by_o both_o the_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n and_o also_o by_o that_o to_o titus_n wherefore_o paul_n
