most_o like_a unto_o himself_o and_o because_o god_n have_v give_v to_o this_o image_n all_o his_o own_o substance_n and_o be_v which_o we_o can_v do_v in_o behold_v ourselves_o in_o a_o glass_n that_o image_n be_v the_o true_a son_n of_o god_n though_o our_o image_n which_o we_o see_v in_o glass_n be_v not_o our_o son_n and_o for_o that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v always_o and_o do_v
