high_a and_o wonderful_a thing_n above_o himself_o but_o that_o the_o life_n he_o live_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n live_v in_o he_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v in_o his_o humane_a soul_n

heavenlinesse_n this_o be_v the_o life_n i_o now_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n 2._o note_v hence_o again_o that_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o fill_v a_o christian_a not_o his_o spirit_n only_o

a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a life_n or_o the_o very_a life_n of_o christ_n in_o our_o flesh_n if_o we_o be_v true_a beliver_v wherefore_o paul_n elsewhere_o speak_v of_o believer_n say_v the_o
