therefore_o thou_o may_v not_o compel_v the_o gentile_n to_o live_v as_o jew_n here_o first_o let_v we_o observe_v the_o force_n of_o evil_a example_n it_o compel_v man_n to_o be_v evil_a therefore_o

here_o again_o we_o see_v what_o wonderful_a subjection_n the_o ancient_a believer_n yield_v to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n for_o if_o the_o action_n of_o the_o apostle_n compel_v man_n to_o

and_o look_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ._n second_o the_o minor_a be_v confirm_v by_o a_o testimony_n of_o the_o psalm_n v._n 16._o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n no_o
