by_o faith_n last_o of_o christian_n member_n of_o christ_n son_n of_o god_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n distinguish_v the_o 29._o jew_n that_o they_o be_v either_o outward_o jew_n and_o in_o show_n or_o inward_o and_o in_o truth_n and_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o next_o etc._n word_n the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o according_a to_o the_o promise_n for_o as_o
