none_o almost_o understode_v and_o what_o mean_v our_o saviour_n when_o he_o say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n 8._o it_o be_v give_v unto_o you_o to_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o

if_o we_o need_v no_o exposition_n then_o sure_o all_o the_o lutheran_n book_n and_o writing_n be_v utter_o superfluous_a vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n but_o only_o crafty_a snare_n to_o catch_v
