tradition_n of_o man_n i._n e._n it_o be_v the_o result_n of_o humane_a wit_n only_o it_o be_v the_o mere_a institution_n of_o man_n and_o have_v nothing_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a i._n e._n of_o

who_o be_v at_o that_o time_n creep_v into_o the_o church_n and_o the_o apostle_n smart_o demand_v of_o the_o colossian_n why_o some_o among_o they_o do_v so_o stiff_o and_o dogmatical_o adhere_v to_o
