and_o ineffable_a whatsoever_o therefore_o be_v speak_v of_o god_n be_v not_o god_n but_o serve_v rather_o to_o help_v our_o weak_a understanding_n to_o conceive_v in_o our_o reason_n and_o to_o utter_v in_o our_o speech_n the_o majesty_n of_o his_o divine_a nature_n so_o far_o as_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o reveal_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o his_o word_n 2_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o
