saint_n have_v the_o light_n for_o because_o believer_n have_v it_o and_o be_v grow_v to_o such_o condition_n this_o do_v not_o make_v out_o that_o the_o unbeliever_n have_v it_o not_o for_o god_n send_v rain_n both_o upon_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a and_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o enlighten_v the_o world_n that_o

etc._n it_o seem_v thou_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o other_o as_o long_o as_o thou_o have_v be_v a_o merchant_n for_o do_v not_o christ_n tell_v the_o pharisee_n they_o
