must_v have_v a_o part_n in_o this_o bless_a inheritance_n the_o member_n must_v be_v where_o the_o head_n be_v indeed_o the_o arminian_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o justify_v person_n may_v fall_v final_o from_o grace_n and_o so_o his_o union_n with_o christ_n may_v be_v dissolve_v and_o the_o inheritance_n lose_v but_o how_o absurd_a be_v this_o doctrine_n be_v christ_n divide_v can_v he_o
