that_o so_o he_o shall_v lose_v at_o least_o the_o world_n good_n and_o perhaps_o his_o life_n too_o to_o the_o one_o christ_n answer_v in_o the_o verse_n precede_v my_o text_n that_o to_o lose_v

of_o great_a moment_n than_o the_o soul_n &_o what_o thing_n more_o difficult_a they_o to_o wean_v it_o from_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o by_o this_o vehement_a speech_n our_o
