of_o practice_n and_o yet_o certain_o the_o folly_n and_o ignorance_n of_o our_o adversary_n far_o surpass_v this_o in_o that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o truth_n that_o

the_o scripture_n say_v there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n under_o heaven_n by_o which_o we_o can_v hope_v for_o salvation_n the_o which_o be_v confirm_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n by_o the_o
