of_o mediation_n as_o to_o be_v incarnate_a as_o i_o dare_v not_o assert_v it_o so_o i_o will_v not_o contend_v about_o it_o but_o in_o this_o i_o be_o confident_a the_o substance_n of_o our_o

in_o nature_n this_o he_o may_v have_v enjoy_v and_o have_v continue_v for_o ever_o perfect_o wretched_a and_o so_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o promise_n shall_v have_v be_v a_o curse_n and_o no_o
