bring_v the_o wise_a man_n to_o his_o son_n as_o it_o be_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o gentile_n but_o also_o because_o he_o will_v celebrate_v the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o son_n as_o well_o by_o

because_o the_o evangelist_n do_v not_o express_v it_o better_o it_o be_v to_o omit_v it_o then_o to_o affirm_v that_o for_o a_o certainty_n which_o be_v doubtful_a a_o foolish_a opinion_n and_o

it_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o comet_n they_o a_o star_n and_o more_o likely_a to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o air_n then_o in_o the_o firmament_n and_o yet_o no_o absurdity_n that_o mathewe_n speak_v accord_v to_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o common_a people_n do_v call_v it_o a_o star_n improperlye_v hereby_o the_o answer_n of_o the_o second_o question_n be_v almost_o
