i_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n at_o a_o distance_n from_o thou_o will_v not_o save_v thou_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o human_a flesh_n but_o the_o spirit_n in_o that_o body_n that_o be_v the_o saviour_n and_o the_o seed_n that_o must_v bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n in_o mankind_n and_o hence_o they_o say_v i_o deny_v christ_n therefore_o i_o shall_v give_v account_n here_o unto_o

the_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v within_o it_o qu._n what_o be_v that_o spirit_n ans._n he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n and_o humility_n which_o save_v human_a flesh_n from_o all_o distemper_n that_o arise_v from_o pride_n or_o covetousness_n and_o this_o be_v the_o child_n jesus_n a_o saviour_n for_o he_o destroy_v the_o covetousness_n and_o pride_n in_o flesh_n and_o free_v the_o

shall_v not_o that_o human_a body_n of_o christ_n save_v i_o by_o his_o death_n ans_n the_o spirit_n in_o that_o human_a body_n be_v the_o saviour_n the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o the_o patient_a
