the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n for_o he_o be_v the_o splendour_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o express_a form_n of_o his_o father_n and_o he_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n

to_o they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v not_o get_v in_o a_o instant_n in_o this_o world_n and_o the_o lord_n himself_o who_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o that_o knowledge_n he_o give_v it_o to_o no_o man_n nor_o woman_n in_o a_o instant_n but_o piece_n and_o piece_n the_o man_n or_o the_o woman_n grow_v in_o knowledge_n so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v clog_v with_o this_o mortality_n so_o long_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n shall_v never_o be_v perfect_a therefore_o let_v every_o man_n if_o he_o have_v a_o pleasure_n to_o seek_v god_n try_v that_o growth_n that_o he_o have_v in_o knowledge_n

another_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v mark_v here_o who_o once_o the_o lord_n have_v begin_v to_o instruct_v man_n or_o woman_n he_o leave_v not_o off_o if_o christ_n begin_v to_o teach_v thou_o by_o his_o
