in_o the_o spirit_n now_o the_o freedom_n the_o lord_n christ_n have_v make_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o believer_n from_o this_o law_n of_o creation_n under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n it_o be_v

when_o god_n by_o his_o judgement_n have_v force_v he_o to_o let_v his_o people_n go_v in_o which_o god_n and_o his_o people_n be_v above_o pharaoh_n see_v then_o how_o full_a of_o envy_n this_o
