A91721	The Racovian catechisme vvherein you have the substance of the confession of those churches, which in the kingdom of Poland, and great dukedome of Lithuania, and other provinces appertaining to that kingdom, do affirm, that no other save the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is that one God of Israel, and that the man Jesus of Nazareth, who was born of the Virgin, and no other besides, or before him, is the onely begotten Sonne of God.; Racovian catechism.

to_o christ_n for_o we_o therefore_o believe_v on_o christ_n because_o he_o have_v obtain_v of_o god_n a_o power_n to_o make_v we_o eternal_o happy_a and_o be_v appoint_v unto_o that_o office_n
