be_v set_v at_o variance_n and_o the_o creature_n in_o they_o but_o by_o christ_n there_o be_v unity_n set_v not_o only_o betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n but_o also_o betwixt_o man_n and_o the_o angel_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n as_o also_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n now_o if_o christ_n blood_n be_v such_o a_o catholicon_n to_o take_v off_o all_o enmity_n between_o god_n and_o
