if_o we_o consider_v god_n in_o himself_o as_o he_o be_v reveal_v in_o his_o word_n and_o work_n to_o be_v the_o one_o only_o true_a jehovah_n eternal_a omnipotent_a immortal_a immutable_a infinite_a

which_o full_o prove_v the_o doctrine_n which_o i_o will_v brief_o reduce_v into_o the_o strict_a form_n of_o a_o syllogism_n thus_o whosoever_o rob_v the_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n the_o
