our_o redemption_n be_v near_o therefore_o st._n paul_n call_v the_o good_a christian_n those_o who_o love_v his_o come_n therefore_o in_o the_o apocalypse_n christ_n show_v himself_o as_o come_v

to_o wit_v that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o st._n thomas_n that_o there_o be_v no_o error_n in_o angel_n your_o proof_n be_v because_o st._n thomas_n notwithstanding_o
