and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o they_o have_v corrupt_v the_o scripture_n but_o that_o the_o hebrew_n text_n remain_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o they_o be_v less_o careful_a in_o former_a time_n when_o they_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o they_o have_v be_v these_o many_o year_n so_o careful_a that_o if_o
