in_o doubt_n to_o which_o methinks_v the_o scripture_n reply_v there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o

and_o disproportionate_a for_o shall_v we_o offer_v that_o to_o god_n that_o we_o will_v not_o offer_v to_o our_o prince_n shall_v we_o pay_v the_o same_o reverence_n to_o he_o that_o grind_v at_o
