be_v come_v he_o say_v come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a load_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v rest_n for_o your_o soul_n a_o bless_a invitation_n to_o all_o that_o can_v

in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n in_o the_o begin_n thereof_o for_o it_o be_v neither_o natural_a wisdom_n nor_o natural_a learning_n that_o can_v or_o ever_o do_v bring_v to_o

all_o sober_a man_n to_o try_v if_o they_o do_v not_o find_v it_o to_o be_v so_o for_o then_o the_o change_n come_v from_o a_o persecutor_n to_o be_v persecute_v hate_a whip_v and_o imprison_v and_o at_o last_o death_n by_o the_o roman_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o the_o terror_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o a_o just_a reward_n for_o his_o wickedness_n do_v against_o christ_n and_o
