this_o place_n to_o give_v you_o a_o short_a account_n of_o what_o the_o most_o authentic_a historian_n have_v relate_v which_o you_o shall_v have_v present_o in_o the_o three_o proposition_n he_o

conclude_v it_o to_o be_v impossible_a to_o understand_v his_o eternal_a generation_n and_o thus_o the_o knowledge_n both_o of_o the_o generation_n of_o our_o saviour_n as_o man_n as_o well_o as_o that_o as_o god_n be_v both_o conclude_v to_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v know_v because_o they_o be_v above_o our_o understanding_n so_o that_o he_o first_o raise_v a_o doubt_n of_o our_o saviour_n
