so_o omit_v one_o to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o other_o beside_o that_o the_o sense_n lead_v we_o to_o see_v there_o must_v be_v such_o a_o verse_n to_o make_v three_o in_o heaven_n answer_v three_o upon_o earth_n without_o which_o there_o will_v be_v a_o breach_n leave_v in_o the_o place_n and_o something_o defective_a to_o answer_v the_o apostle_n design_n who_o already_o in_o verse_n 5_o and_o 6._o have_v mention_v the_o three_o for_o he_o say_v who_o be_v he_o that_o overcome_v the_o world_n but_o he_o that_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o be_v of_o god_n the_o

some_o thing_n must_v be_v observe_v like_a as_o we_o do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o medal_n for_o both_o relate_v to_o antiquity_n we_o go_v by_o some_o certain_a rule_n to_o find_v whether_o or_o not_o
