of_o the_o earth_n so_o big_a and_o the_o moon_n sun_n and_o star_n so_o near_o it_o i_o therefore_o conceive_v it_o be_v better_a to_o heed_n holy_a scripture_n than_o to_o hearken_v to_o what_o they_o say_v now_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n make_v all_o the_o star_n sun_n and_o moon_n in_o one_o day_n gen._n 1.14_o 19_o whereas_o in_o make_v the_o earth_n and_o
