furthermore_o as_o they_o do_v cut_v their_o own_o throat_n with_o these_o word_n as_o with_o a_o sword_n so_o god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v to_o we_o teacher_n to_o instruct_v we_o that_o we_o

neither_o be_v this_o persuasion_n conceive_v of_o nothing_o but_o it_o come_v rather_o from_o a_o true_a feel_n of_o godliness_n for_o god_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v make_v the_o world_n without_o
