of_o the_o reader_n that_o so_o the_o gospel_n all_o make_v up_o one_o book_n by_o themselves_o as_o be_v usual_a former_o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v the_o

though_o suppose_v genuine_a these_o latter_a be_v never_o recommend_v or_o attest_v by_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o can_v never_o expect_v that_o reception_n and_o authority_n in_o
