i_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n and_o his_o own_o conscience_n to_o judge_n i_o proceed_v to_o show_v iii_o that_o the_o assistance_n which_o the_o holy_a spirit_n give_v to_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o

holy_a ghost_n shall_v teach_v they_o all_o thing_n and_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o their_o remembrance_n these_o latter_a word_n apparent_o explain_v the_o forego_n as_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n

holy_a spirit_n shall_v recall_v to_o their_o memory_n the_o word_n which_o our_o saviour_n have_v use_v upon_o this_o subject_n for_o those_o alone_a will_v rather_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o
