upon_o he_o he_o think_v not_o on_o this_o that_o by_o time_n he_o may_v unhabite_v unnecessitate_n himself_o again_o so_o because_o at_o first_o till_o christ_n shall_v come_v there_o be_v a_o

always_o when_o christ_n be_v come_v act_v 15.5_o just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o because_o in_o king_n edward_n the_o sixth_n time_n we_o be_v new_o come_v out_o of_o thick_a dark_a popery_n and_o

in_o those_o prince_n day_n we_o be_v perfect_o well_o be_v there_o not_o as_o we_o say_v before_o the_o infancy_n of_o church_n gal._n 4.1_o and_o consequent_o the_o youth_n and_o manhood_n must_v

because_o the_o general_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n then_o be_v as_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n virgin_n in_o outward_a show_n though_o foolish_a inward_o therefore_o 1._o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d
