of_o the_o world_n general_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o the_o world_n general_o we_o may_v behold_v that_o he_o be_v much_o more_o gracious_a unto_o the_o world_n when_o he_o choose_v unto_o he_o one_o people_n among_o they_o all_o and_o bestow_v the_o law_n upon_o they_o then_o for_o the_o space_n of_o two_o thousand_o year_n almost_o he_o be_v to_o those_o that_o live_v before_o among_o

for_o that_o now_o he_o have_v take_v in_o all_o nation_n indifferent_o and_o give_v unto_o they_o the_o truth_n itself_o whereas_o before_o he_o take_v but_o one_o and_o give_v unto_o they_o but_o
