that_o he_o have_v of_o himself_o or_o with_o it_o that_o be_v give_v he_o from_o above_o but_o god_n forbid_v that_o such_o a_o excellent_a teacher_n of_o the_o heithen_a shall_v not_o have_v know_v

if_o the_o victory_n follow_v not_o after_o and_o who_o geve_v the_o victory_n but_o even_o he_o of_o who_o he_o say_v god_n be_v thank_v which_o have_v give_v we_o the_o victory_n through_o our_o

god_n which_o thing_n he_o tech_v very_o evident_o and_o say_v by_o grace_n be_v you_o save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o but_o it_o be_v y_z e_z gift_n of_o god_n for_o

and_o therefore_o have_v we_o the_o work_n of_o rightuousnes_n even_o of_o he_o of_o who_o faith_n itself_o come_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n out_o of_o s._n austin_n word_n by_o

only_o the._n 18._o chapter_n wherefore_o now_o come_v we_o again_o to_o good_a work_n which_o if_o they_o proceade_v not_o out_o of_o god_n by_o faith_n they_o may_v not_o be_v name_v good_a but_o
