one_o argument_n more_o which_o shall_v not_o only_o prove_v to_o you_o that_o separation_n be_v a_o sin_n but_o one_o of_o the_o great_a sin_n of_o which_o christian_n can_v be_v guilty_a to_o make_v this_o clear_a to_o you_o and_o beyond_o all_o dispute_n or_o question_n that_o which_o i_o will_v say_v to_o you_o and_o mark_v it_o well_o be_v this_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o divinity_n and_o it_o

the_o last_o verse_n where_o he_o say_v now_o abide_v faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n but_o the_o great_a of_o these_o be_v charity_n thus_o then_o stand_v the_o case_n distrust_n in_o god_n promise_n

for_o by_o this_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v say_v he_o that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o love_v one_o another_o as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 13._o chapter_n of_o john_n at_o the_o

it_o pretend_v indeed_o very_o much_o to_o the_o spirit_n and_o at_o first_o clothes_n itself_o in_o the_o dress_n of_o humility_n and_o meekn●sse_n but_o they_o who_o have_v write_v the_o chronicle_n
