that_o scripture_n signify_v christ_n and_o that_o christ_n in_o a_o sense_n but_o it_o must_v be_v his_o own_o sense_n do_v enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n that_o be_v

without_o we_o as_o the_o anticedent_a cause_n of_o those_o effect_n whereas_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o many_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o righteous_a man_n that_o live_v before_o the_o appearance_n

yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o forever_o so_o have_v finish_v this_o digression_n i_o go_v forward_o again_o in_o the_o last_o line_n of_o the_o 8_o page_n he_o say_v i_o belie_v the_o holy_a man_n john_n that_o the_o enlighten_v in_o every_o man_n be_v christ_n which_o i_o again_o testify_v that_o it_o be_v a_o measure_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o true_a christ_n who_o be_v god_n bless_v for_o ever_o and_o to_o prove_v this_o a●_n error_n he_o say_v that_o this_o evangelist_n do_v evident_o affirm_v that_o the_o light_n he_o ●pake_v of_o in_o the_o 9th_o verse_n be_v the_o man_n

cleanse_v from_o the_o defilement_n do_v follow_v as_o the_o effect_n i_o answer_v if_o it_o be_v so_o than_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o man_n salvation_n and_o so_o not_o the_o whole_a office_n of_o a_o saviour_n be_v not_o perform_v at_o once_o without_o we_o as_o samson_n bond_n affirm_v in_o his_o 3d_o argument_n for_o there_o be_v something_o to_o be_v effect_v within_o
