be_v true_a dear_o belove_v and_o the_o angel_n be_v witness_n with_o we_o this_o be_v true_a but_o to_o this_o day_n god_n have_v not_o give_v some_o a_o heart_n to_o believe_v we_o owe_v they_o a_o

in_o these_o word_n that_o the_o prophet_n say_v behold_v the_o child_n which_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o in_o you_o it_o be_v say_v god_n have_v give_v we_o to_o his_o son_n christ_n it_o teach_v we_o

by_o which_o we_o can_v cleave_v unto_o he_o but_o god_n in_o his_o grace_n draw_v we_o that_o we_o 5._o may_v come_v unto_o he_o &_o with_o his_o power_n he_o strengthen_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v
