therefore_o it_o be_v that_o james_n require_v a_o agreement_n of_o the_o word_n and_o thought_n so_o that_o the_o outward_a work_n of_o the_o life_n shall_v be_v answerable_a the_o faith_n which_o

according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n a_o good_a tree_n bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n we_o see_v therefore_o manifest_o how_o impudent_o they_o reprove_v themselves_o of_o untrueth_n which_o
