all_o that_o john_n say_v of_o he_o be_v true_a and_o what_o he_o have_v hear_v and_o see_v that_o he_o testify_v and_o shall_v we_o imagine_v that_o he_o will_v bind_v all_o the_o succeed_a

to_o gospel-time_n there_o be_v also_o a_o miraculous_a pour_v out_o of_o the_o spirit_n proper_a to_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n quest_n how_o be_v miraculous_a pour_v out_o of_o the_o
