see_v the_o greek_a word_n signify_v both_o and_o the_o scope_n and_o context_n of_o the_o apostle_n rather_o agree_v with_o religion_n then_o worship_v nay_o how_o shall_v the_o poor_a unlearned_a

the_o original_a word_n have_v sundry_a signification_n and_o further_o how_o shall_v they_o not_o have_v cause_n to_o doubt_v of_o and_o call_v in_o question_n the_o whole_a translation_n of_o the_o bible_n see_v they_o know_v not_o when_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n have_v different_a signification_n or_o only_a one_o and_o so_o may_v doubt_v whether_o the_o true_a signification_n and_o
