inform_v we_o 6._o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o know_v that_o the_o very_a copy_n and_o translation_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o we_o have_v &_o upon_o which_o we_o ground_n ourselves_o be_v

that_o god_n the_o father_n be_v not_o beget_v '_o that_o god_n the_o son_n be_v not_o make_v but_o beget_v by_o his_o father_n only_o that_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v neither_o make_v nor_o
