the_o prerogative_n of_o god_n to_o who_o the_o existence_n in_o diverse_a place_n at_o one_o time_n be_v proper_o essential_a and_o this_o they_o ground_v upon_o that_o divine_a foundation_n the_o scripture_n of_o god_n psalm_n 39.6_o wherein_o the_o psalmist_n in_o profess_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v whether_o shall_v i_o go_v from_o thy_o spirit_n if_o i_o go_v up_o
