where_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n there_o of_o need_n force_n love_n must_v be_v faith_n and_o charity_n be_v unseparable_a where_o that_o band_n of_o perfection_n

be_v no_o perfection_n of_o a_o member_n in_o this_o world_n when_o it_o be_v sunder_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o member_n cut_v off_o a_o member_n from_o the_o body_n it_o do_v no_o good_a but_o
