that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v or_o if_o again_o man_n will_v enter_v and_o try_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o 7._o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v perfect_a no_o

they_o as_o gold_n &_o silver_n that_o they_o bring_v offering_n to_o he_o in_o righteousness_n and_o with_o this_o imperfection_n trial_n also_o man_n try_v himself_o search_v out_o his_o iniquity_n that_o he_o may_v forsake_v they_o and_o this_o trial_n tend_v indeed_o to_o a_o perfection_n at_o the_o last_o but_o stand_v rather_o in_o a_o sind_n out_o and_o forsake_v of_o our_o imperfection_n
