according_a to_o this_o computation_n christ_n be_v bear_v the_o 16_o day_n of_o may._n nay_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o other_o ingenious_a man_n as_o the_o same_o father_n continue_v to_o write_v 249._o that_o assign_v christ_n nativity_n to_o the_o 24_o or_o 25_o of_o the_o month_n pharmuthi_n which_o answer_v to_o our_o 16_o or_o 17_o of_o april_n so_o that_o there_o be_v diversity_n of_o opinion_n concern_v the_o time_n of_o christ_n birth_n which_o make_v it_o very_o probable_a that_o there_o be_v then_o no_o particular_a feast_n observe_v in_o commemoration_n of_o that_o glorious_a and_o transcendent_a mercy_n §_o 5._o there_o be_v yet_o another_o feast_n call_v by_o we_o epiphany_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o commemoration_n of_o christ_n baptism_n which_o i_o find_v to_o have_v
