of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v most_o preposterous_a and_o also_o in_o case_n no_o such_o head_n grow_v up_o for_o that_o either_o the_o body_n must_v remain_v without_o a_o head_n which_o will_v

the_o spiritual_a man_n to_o the_o throne_n before_o any_o and_o it_o be_v this_o the_o first_o adam_n upon_o his_o fall_n do_v forfeit_v all_o the_o domini_fw-la and_o title_n which_o the_o lord_n

whereas_o the_o donation_n of_o universal_a dominion_n have_v no_o such_o condition_n annex_v unto_o it_o four_o have_v adam_n apprehend_v that_o superiority_n and_o dominion_n shall_v upon_o his_o
