all_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o he_o as_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o he_o for_o the_o greek_a word_n signify_v the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o although_o in_o english_a there_o be_v some_o

not_o here_o take_v for_o all_o thing_n simple_o and_o absolute_o but_o be_v restrain_v to_o the_o subject_a matter_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o frequent_a in_o the_o holy_a sripture_n especial_o

you_o have_v another_o place_n hebr._fw-la 10._o 5._o where_n speak_v of_o christ_n he_o say_v wherefore_o enter_v into_o the_o world_n he_o say_v sacrifice_n and_o offering_n thou_o will_v not_o

his_o offering_n as_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n do_v show_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o this_o world_n but_o of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v since_o in_o the_o eight_o chapter_n vers_n 4._o he_o have_v say_v of_o christ_n that_o if_o he_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n he_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o be_v a_o priest_n q._n what_o understand_v you_o by_o

because_o he_o bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o man_n who_o be_v lose_v and_o subject_a to_o eternal_a death_n which_o thing_n john_n upbraid_v the_o world_n with_o namely_o that_o be_v

such_o form_n of_o speak_v the_o word_n make_v and_o create_v be_n equivalent_a with_o make_v anew_o and_o create_v anew_o inasmuch_o as_o that_o tongue_n be_v destitute_a of_o compound_a verb_n the_o

yet_o from_o such_o a_o conjunction_n of_o those_o three_o in_o divine_a operation_n it_o seem_v somewhat_o probable_a that_o they_o be_v three_o person_n in_o one_o divine_a essence_n a._n by_o no_o

it_o may_v easy_o pervert_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n while_o it_o take_v away_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o first_o and_o second_o cause_n thereof_o and_o suffer_v we_o not_o right_o to_o
