for_o if_o right_o understand_v 1._o it_o be_v a_o most_o happy_a revelation_n of_o god_n to_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n when_o he_o make_v know_v to_o they_o his_o will_n and_o direct_v they_o to_o write_v the_o scripture_n one_o of_o the_o book_n whereof_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o the_o revelation_n but_o i_o pray_v know_v too_o that_o these_o revelation_n be_v on_o purpose_n vouchsafe_v

sometime_o possible_o there_o may_v be_v some_o more_o than_o ordinary_a intimation_n of_o god_n will_v to_o some_o of_o his_o servant_n for_o their_o person_n holy_a humble_a faithful_a and_o
