the_o cloud_n will_v little_o avail_v they_o if_o they_o do_v not_o feel_v he_o near_o hence_o they_o have_v seek_v malicious_o to_o infer_v that_o we_o deny_v any_o god_n except_o that_o which_o be_v

their_o talk_n or_o believe_v of_o christ_n outward_a life_n suffering_n death_n and_o resurrection_n no_o more_o than_o the_o jew_n cry_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o will_v serve_v their_o turn_n or_o justify_v they_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o that_o they_o must_v know_v christ_n in_o they_o who_o they_o have_v crucify_v to_o be_v raise_v and_o to_o justify_v they_o and_o redeem_v they_o from_o their_o iniquity_n hence_o they_o say_v we_o deny_v the_o life_n death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n justification_n by_o his_o blood_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n through_o he_o because_o we_o tell_v they_o while_o they_o be_v talk_v and_o determine_v about_o the_o resurrection_n that_o they_o have_v more_o need_n to_o know_v the_o just_a one_o who_o they_o have_v slay_v raise_v in_o themselves_o and_o to_o be_v sure_a they_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o first_o resurrection_n and_o that_o if_o this_o be_v they_o will_v be_v the_o
