truth_n in_o this_o project_n than_o i_o consider_v of_o the_o trial_n of_o head_n the_o sign_n refer_v to_o six_o head_n a_o true_a christian_n six_o way_n first_o in_o his_o humiliation_n second_o

that_o can_v attain_v unto_o they_o as_o first_o such_o place_n as_o express_o do_v affirm_v that_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n be_v sign_n as_o for_o example_n 1._o john_n 3._o 14._o hereby_o we_o
