distant_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o the_o one_o in_o heaven_n the_o other_o on_o the_o earth_n god_n will_v have_v his_o image_n place_v in_o the_o two_o extremity_n of_o the_o world_n as_o

the_o decalogue_n for_o the_o present_a question_n we_o may_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o resurrection_n will_v show_v the_o communion_n which_o be_v between_o
