avoid_v and_o escape_v punishment_n which_o god_o else_o will_v have_v lay_v upon_o we_o but_o it_o do_v not_o purchase_v salvation_n and_o eternal_a life_n look_v therefore_o what_o place_n nature_n

think_v that_o this_o matter_n concern_v our_o salvation_n be_v to_o narrow_o and_o straight_o comprise_v of_o i_o as_o if_o i_o shall_v hold_v a_o dolphin_n in_o a_o basin_n for_o that_o i_o

therefore_o i_o say_v it_o consist_v only_o in_o apprehend_v christ_n jesus_n for_o that_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n be_v hard_a or_o difficult_a but_o only_a faith_n in_o christ_n as_o no_o man_n

let_v no_o work_v therefore_o although_o never_o so_o godly_a pufe_v up_o a_o man_n as_o if_o he_o be_v pure_a or_o rather_o not_o unpure_a and_o unprofitable_a even_o in_o his_o most_o holy_a work_n
