nevertheless_o abide_v still_o alive_a that_o be_v as_o christ_n himself_o say_v john_n 11._o 11._o where_o he_o say_v thus_o i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n who_o so_o ever_o

the_o faithful_a yea_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o death_n embrace_v the_o right_a life_n christ_n our_o lord_n that_o give_v again_o unto_o they_o life_n for_o as_o little_a now_o can_v death_n any_o
