his_o wisdom_n neither_o be_v the_o plain_a man_n hinder_v any_o thing_n by_o his_o ignorance_n yea_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n say_v he_o ignorance_n be_v more_o fit_a and_o

be_v a_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o that_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o learning_n can_v help_v herein_o but_o rather_o hinder_v and_o that_o therefore_o when_o christ_n send_v forth_o the_o first_o
