and_o he_o that_o do_v believe_v have_v the_o witness_n in_o himself_o and_o this_o witness_n be_v christ_n a_o three_o question_n be_v whether_o i_o do_v believe_v there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o

thus_o answer_v to_o their_o question_n and_o they_o therein_o receive_v nothing_o against_o i_o tell_v i_o that_o i_o have_v former_o speak_v thing_n that_o be_v blasphemy_n and_o they_o will_v

i_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o i_o and_o the_o practice_n of_o christian_n as_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v i_o tell_v they_o be_v not_o to_o lay_v violent_a hand_n
