have_v take_v it_o you_o must_v second_o keep_v it_o as_o man_n take_v physic_n not_o only_o in_o belief_n that_o it_o will_v do_v they_o good_a but_o in_o hope_n to_o keep_v it_o by_o the_o virtue_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o retentive_a part_n so_o we_o take_v christ_n by_o faith_n but_o we_o retain_v he_o by_o holiness_n these_o two_o faith_n and_o holiness_n be_v those_o two_o bond_n wherewith_o christ_n be_v unite_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o unto_o christ_n so_o that_o if_o we_o be_v of_o this_o number_n then_o true_o may_v we_o say_v that_o he_o purge_v our_o sin_n for_o the_o
