bear_v witness_n in_o that_o of_o john_n chap._n 16._o that_o which_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n etc._n etc._n be_v the_o saint_n comforter_n even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n it_o have_v many_o name_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o be_v one_o thing_n so_o this_o light_n which_o be_v divine_a holy_a heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a be_v one_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o nature_n and_o operation_n and_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o all_o man_n though_o some_o rebel_n against_o it_o and_o have_v power_n in_o it_o not_o only_o to_o show_v and_o convince_v of_o

of_o its_o virtue_n and_o operation_n in_o thyself_o then_o by_o a_o syllogism_n then_o thou_o may_v be_v a_o true_a witness_n of_o its_o divine_a perfectio_fw-la till_o then_o however_o i_o will_v
