give_v god_n the_o father_n the_o honour_n of_o his_o love_n for_o christ_n &_o thus_o christ_n seek_v the_o honour_n of_o his_o father_n now_o christ_n be_v the_o spiritual_a tree_n of_o life_n and_o

6.6_o there_o sanballet_n charge_v the_o prophet_n with_o rebellion_n and_o those_o that_o be_v with_o he_o and_o thus_o the_o pharisee_n accuse_v jesus_n christ_n of_o be_v a_o wine-bibber_n &_o a_o

12.19_o and_o the_o pharisee_n therefore_o say_v among_o themselves_o perceive_v you_o how_o you_o prevail_v nothing_o behold_v the_o world_n be_v go_v after_o he_o and_o they_o tell_v the_o people_n

7.47_o 48_o 49._o and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o usage_n christ_n have_v and_o those_o that_o follow_v he_o as_o for_o instance_n jesus_n christ_n love_v lazarus_n therefore_o the_o chief_a priest_n

to_o death_n as_o well_o as_o his_o master_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o do_v so_o be_v because_o many_o of_o the_o jew_n go_v away_o from_o they_o and_o believe_v on_o jesus_n now_o who_o will_v follow_v jesus_n christ_n must_v make_v account_n to_o suffer_v from_o the_o strict_a sort_n and_o as_o paul_n say_v all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n therefore_o unreasonable_a so_o all_o man_n
