as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v as_o god_n will_v manifest_v his_o wrath_n against_o the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n so_o he_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v to_o the_o world_n that_o he_o proceed_v in_o a_o

why_o he_o use_v this_o word_n merciful_a man_n in_o the_o latter_a part_n be_v for_o the_o great_a conviction_n of_o their_o stupidity_n they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o affect_v with_o the_o
