for_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v thus_o careful_o express_v this_o practice_n of_o the_o soldier_n in_o devide_v his_o garment_n &_o cast_a lot_n for_o

have_v satisfy_v god_n justice_n deliver_v he_o hence_o than_o we_o may_v learn_v two_o instruction_n first_o that_o the_o prophetical_a office_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o his_o preisthood_n of_o his_o redemption_n sacrifice_n and_o intercession_n for_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o die_v for_o we_o he_o have_v never_o reveal_v his_o father_n will_n unto_o we_o according_a as_o the_o
