generation_n speak_v of_o the_o which_o hinder_v not_o that_o which_o be_v beget_v to_o be_v eternal_a also_o the_o father_n have_v not_o begin_v to_o beget_v his_o wisdom_n but_o have_v beget_v it_o

one_o there_o be_v such_o distinction_n that_o to_o the_o father_n we_o attribute_v the_o beginning_n of_o work_v and_o create_v we_o hold_v he_o for_o the_o fountain_n &_o spring_n of_o all_o thing_n
