show_v as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n in_o france_n the_o four_o book_n that_o they_o therefore_o wish_v that_o all_o image_n and_o picture_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v clean_o remove_v and_o whole_o put_v out_o of_o church_n and_o house_n see_v the_o same_o be_v plain_o forbid_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n by_o counsel_n and_o by_o many_o

with_o a_o yellowish_a another_o with_o a_o flaxen_a a_o three_o with_o a_o black_a the_o four_o with_o a_o brown_a beard_n and_o so_o then_o a_o man_n must_v take_v that_o for_o christ_n his_o
