of_o this_o jude_n at_o his_o birth_n give_v he_o such_o a_o name_n as_o may_v move_v not_o only_a himself_o but_o his_o child_n after_o he_o to_o thankfulness_n and_o confession_n of_o god_n

than_o to_o be_v of_o the_o kindred_n of_o king_n and_o ally_v to_o the_o great_a monarch_n of_o the_o world_n christ_n himself_o show_v we_o what_o kindred_n shall_v take_v up_o our_o chief_a

whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v even_o that_o which_o he_o will_v never_o do_v of_o which_o john_n baptist_n speak_v god_n be_v able_a even_o of_o stone_n to_o raise_v up_o seed_n to_o abraham_n by_o this_o power_n god_n can_v have_v make_v many_o thousand_o world_n whereas_o he_o make_v but_o one_o and_o by_o the_o same_o christ_n can_v have_v command_v a_o legion_n of_o angel_n to_o have_v

from_o all_o eternity_n in_o which_o regard_n no_o power_n can_v be_v give_v he_o but_o if_o we_o respect_v his_o office_n of_o mediation_n to_o the_o performance_n of_o which_o he_o must_v lay_v aside_o his_o power_n and_o become_v as_o a_o servant_n subiect_v himself_o to_o the_o death_n thus_o this_o power_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v give_v he_o again_o namely_o when_o by_o his_o rise_n
