thus_o it_o be_v the_o word_n preched_a by_o false_a minister_n be_v not_o that_o word_n unto_o which_o god_n have_v promise_v a_o blèssing_n of_o increase_n or_o it_o be_v not_o the_o ordinary_a

in_o the_o one_o that_o be_v in_o the_o true_a church_n it_o be_v clean_o in_o the_o other_o we_o say_v it_o be_v not_o nevertheless_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v as_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o

be_v in_o the_o same_o respect_n that_o some_o creature_n be_v unclean_a under_o the_o law_n namely_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o use_n forbid_v as_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o
