i_o call_v my_o friend_n christ_n seem_v to_o marvel_v at_o their_o stupid_a sottish_a ignorance_n but_o than_o he_o resolve_v all_o into_o this_o even_o because_o you_o can_v hear_v my_o word_n they_o have_v no_o spiritual_a judgement_n of_o discretion_n because_o they_o want_v a_o divine_a faculty_n of_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o thence_o no_o wonder_n that_o they_o elect_v he_o not_o as_o
