to_o do_v content_v themselves_o with_o this_o beléef_n that_o regeneration_n &_o faith_n without_o good_a work_n be_v a_o mere_a hypocrisy_n and_o thing_n dead_a and_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a

but_o we_o will_v here_o maintain_v that_o it_o be_v a_o audacity_n most_o curse_v to_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o law_n of_o our_o god_n any_o one_o word_n see_v special_o that_o that_o sum_n and_o
