you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n it_o have_v be_v a_o absurd_a thing_n i_o say_v for_o paul_n to_o have_v doubt_v whether_o they_o have_v know_v of_o such_o a_o spirit_n &_o

the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n and_o prophesy_v and_o concern_v such_o gift_n they_o answer_v paul_n also_o we_o know_v not_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o holy_a ghost_n we_o never_o hear_v whether_o
