unless_o he_o will_v have_v both_o a_o build_n without_o a_o foundation_n and_o a_o foundation_n beside_o the_o building_n four_o it_o be_v a_o absurd_a course_n to_o separate_v the_o power_n of_o

no_o further_o than_o they_o tread_v in_o the_o step_n and_o continue_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n of_o god_n second_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o allege_v or_o
