set_v out_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o same_o as_o a_o mean_a or_o instrument_n whereby_o through_o new_a birth_n or_o regeneration_n we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o as_o saint_n james_n here_o speak_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o god_n creature_n as_o towch_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n word_n you_o shall_v understande_v that_o the_o gospel_n or_o word_n of_o god_n be_v no_o human_a
