be_v also_o true_a and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o the_o apostle_n say_v where_o be_v now_o their_o argument_n therefore_o there_o need_v no_o continual_a sacrifice_n to_o conserve_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o to_o give_v supreme_a and_o due_a homage_n to_o he_o it_o be_v false_a and_o no_o better_a consequence_n then_o as_o i_o say_v before_o christ_n worship_v god_n for_o we_o therefore_o
