be_v this_o that_o according_a as_o a_o christian_n man_n go_v perfect_a himself_o in_o his_o christian_n custom_n so_o he_o go_v clear_v himself_o in_o his_o christian_n conception_n nay_o i_o hold_v

which_o they_o love_v god_n above_o every_o thing_n and_o they_o love_v their_o neighbour_n as_o themselves_o and_o i_o say_v far_o that_o as_o whilst_o they_o who_o approve_v those_o three_o
