hear_v john_n and_o not_o beleve_v he_o and_o also_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o father_n and_o not_o give_v credit_n unto_o it_o so_o neither_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o law_n nor_o of_o the_o

those_o scripture_n do_v promise_n and_o do_v not_o believe_v he_o who_o the_o father_n have_v send_v accord_v to_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o whereas_o there_o be_v none_o other_o
