their_o supernatural_a knowledge_n be_v wonderful_o obscure_v for_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o very_a many_o thing_n which_o if_o they_o have_v not_o fall_v they_o shall_v have_v know_v yet_o be_v

who_o servant_n the_o apostle_n be_v but_o because_o such_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n though_o fruitless_a and_o dead_a can_v proceed_v from_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o only_o from_o divine_a revelation_n either_o by_o good_a angel_n or_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o god_n power_n and_o providence_n manifest_v to_o they_o therefore_o we_o cease_v further_a to_o speak_v

from_o their_o cause_n either_o necessary_o the_o cause_n be_v such_o as_o can_v be_v hinder_v as_o be_v the_o eclipse_n of_o the_o sun_n or_o moon_n or_o though_o not_o of_o mere_a necessity_n nor_o of_o mere_a chance_n yet_o for_o the_o most_o part_n and_o most_o common_o they_o follow_v their_o cause_n which_o yet_o may_v sometime_o be_v hinder_v in_o their_o operation_n as_o seed_v sow_v by_o
