according_a to_o the_o question_n that_o he_o have_v move_v to_o he_o and_o therefore_o be_v very_o sorrowful_a and_o hereto_o accord_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n ensue_v very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o a_o rich_a man_n shall_v hardly_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o a_o camel_n to_o go_v through_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o needle_n then_o for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n why_o do_v christ_n use_v these_o word_n but_o that_o the_o young_a man_n respect_n of_o his_o riches_n do_v hinder_v he_o not_o from_o a_o state_n of_o

will_v instruct_v he_o that_o that_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o the_o obtain_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o he_o must_v be_v content_a upon_o his_o call_n and_o commandment_n to_o renounce_v all_o that_o he_o have_v to_o cast_v off_o all_o vain_a love_n and_o confidence_n of_o worldly_a thing_n and_o to_o become_v one_o of_o his_o disciple_n and_o follower_n in_o a_o word_n he_o teach_v he_o
