a_o name_n of_o dignity_n and_o authority_n which_o god_n have_v over_o the_o creature_n &_o therefore_o as_o they_o be_v not_o eternal_a so_o this_o name_n agree_v not_o to_o he_o from_o eternity_n

be_v true_o from_o eternity_n lord_n his_o dominion_n be_v ground_v on_o his_o power_n which_o be_v one_o with_o his_o essence_n and_o that_o be_v eternal_a neither_o be_v it_o the_o creature_n that_o
