my_o belief_n of_o that_o untractible_a temper_n as_o not_o to_o bow_v at_o their_o obstacle_n or_o connive_v at_o matter_n wherein_o there_o be_v not_o manifest_a impiety_n the_o leaven_n therefore_o

their_o cessation_n that_o they_o survive_v christ_n be_v manifest_a upon_o the_o record_n of_o scripture_n that_o they_o outlive_v the_o apostle_n also_o and_o be_v revive_v at_o the_o conversion_n

there_o be_v not_o one_o miracle_n great_a than_o another_o they_o be_v the_o extraordinary_a effect_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n to_o which_o all_o thing_n be_v of_o a_o equal_a facility_n and_o to_o create_v the_o world_n as_o easy_a as_o one_o single_a creature_n for_o this_o be_v also_o a_o miracle_n not_o only_o to_o produce_v effect_n against_o or_o above_o nature_n but_o before_o
