and_o this_o teach_v we_o to_o deny_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o oh_o do_v you_o look_v to_o be_v save_v have_v you_o a_o bless_a hope_n and_o do_v you_o

first_o we_o shall_v show_v how_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o this_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o this_o world_n mark_v those_o scripture_n in_o john_n 18._o 36._o jesus_n

of_o that_o as_o another_o world_n a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n but_o for_o the_o present_a for_o that_o that_o the_o scripture_n call_v this_o world_n we_o must_v not_o expect_v a_o
