be_v for_o the_o purge_n of_o himself_o will_v always_o lay_v before_o his_o eye_n this_o excellent_a pattern_n of_o christ_n himself_o here_o commend_v unto_o we_o and_o serious_o mark_v and_o

of_o such_o a_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v purge_v himself_o as_o christ_n be_v pure_a and_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o he_o in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n for_o his_o better_a assurance_n of_o

this_o be_v a_o manifest_a argument_n that_o whatsoever_o some_o man_n speak_v of_o their_o know_a christ_n and_o of_o see_v christ_n as_o also_o of_o their_o hope_n of_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o

have_v that_o hope_n they_o speak_v of_o if_o they_o do_v so_o know_v christ_n and_o behold_v christ_n as_o they_o boast_v they_o do_v then_o doubtless_o they_o will_v purge_v themselves_o as_o he_o
