for_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o suffer_v as_o evil_a doer_n but_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o when_o do_v any_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n suffer_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n but_o there_o be_v such_o gloss_n as_o these_o say_v haman_n these_o be_v a_o rebellious_a people_n and_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o king_n profit_n to_o suffer_v they_o and_o so_o when_o christ_n

for_o that_o be_v humane_a and_o by_o humane_a invention_n but_o the_o worship_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v divine_a and_o from_o heaven_n the_o worship_n of_o christ_n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o
