of_o all_o thing_n the_o three_o cause_n of_o the_o error_n of_o the_o saducee_n christ_n assign_v to_o be_v this_o that_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o

of_o the_o law_n three_o of_o the_o true_a use_n of_o the_o law_n ¶_o of_o the_o first_o the_o law_n in_o this_o place_n set_v before_o we_o the_o two_o chief_a commandment_n the_o first_o of_o the_o
