again_o and_o now_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n both_o which_o be_v most_o true_a though_o we_o do_v not_o now_o see_v they_o with_o our_o bodily_a eye_n also_o that_o he_o

we_o to_o believe_v that_o all_o this_o be_v once_o do_v &_o fulfil_v therefore_o nothing_o else_o now_o remain_v to_o we_o and_o to_o all_o those_o that_o do_v see_v these_o thing_n bring_v to_o
