own_o proper_a lively_a act_n 1_o in_o order_n of_o time_n the_o work_n of_o god_n convert_v man_n and_o the_o act_n of_o man_n turn_v himself_o to_o god_n can_v hardly_o be_v distinguish_v but_o in_o

bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n it_o do_v it_o not_o that_o thereby_o it_o may_v be_v better_v or_o that_o by_o its_o own_o cooperation_n it_o may_v be_v quicken_v but_o it_o do_v it_o because_o it_o
