therefore_o conceive_v no_o need_n of_o repentance_n and_o redemption_n by_o a_o other_o saviour_n thus_o he_o general_o affirm_v of_o the_o jew_n who_o ear_n and_o heart_n be_v by_o custom_n grow_v

thus_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o star_n as_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o light_n &_o virtue_n so_o they_o restles_o move_v to_o impart_v their_o light_n and_o influence_n to_o the_o enlighten_v
