for_o we_o and_o such_o book_n as_o be_v hard_a as_o the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n and_o the_o poetical_a book_n job_n psalm_n etc._n etc._n to_o read_v they_o often_o 2._o that_o we_o do_v not_o read_v

you_o think_v etc._n etc._n herein_o consider_v first_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n think_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o have_v eternal_a life_n which_o be_v not_o lay_v down_o as_o a_o false_a opinion_n but_o as_o a_o true_a and_o orthodoxal_a ground_n the_o more_o also_o to_o check_v they_o who_o although_o they_o have_v so_o good_a a_o opinion_n of_o
