text_n that_o the_o truth_n deducible_a from_o thence_o will_v be_v many_o and_o the_o time_n take_v up_o in_o the_o explicate_a and_o unfolding_n of_o those_o truth_n will_v be_v long_o and_o

for_o the_o orderly_a dissect_n or_o break_v up_o of_o the_o text_n we_o must_v observe_v as_o at_o first_o we_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o word_n two_o thing_n offer_v themselves_o to_o our_o view_n
