shall_v not_o perish_v who_o he_o have_v create_v therefore_o behold_v two_o nature_n but_o knit_v together_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a saviour_n even_o as_o the_o soul_n

the_o scripture_n then_o and_o also_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n speak_v of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v sometime_o respect_n unto_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o then_o it_o be_v say_v
