the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n god-man_n and_o all_o my_o service_n be_v tender_v up_o to_o god_n through_o he_o there_o be_v this_o mediator_n god-man_n that_o unite_v god_n and_o i_o

of_o the_o everlasting_a father_n that_o be_v make_v the_o posterity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n be_v from_o heaven_n heavenly_a therefore_o their_o soul_n be_v endue_v with_o a_o divine_a
