of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o worl_z when_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v he_o and_o he_o shall_v reign_v and_o his_o name_n be_v great_a from_o the_o rise_n

thing_n and_o be_v and_o have_v be_v in_o all_o age_n and_o be_v produce_v by_o natural_a cause_n and_o therefore_o this_o so_o understand_v can_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o

of_o the_o dead_a in_o body_n for_o it_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o those_o that_o be_v behead_v therefore_o it_o be_v of_o the_o body_n second_o the_o text_n speak_v of_o such_o a_o
