thou_o say_v he_o to_o timothy_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n who_o quicken_v all_o thing_n and_o before_o christ_n jesus_n who_o before_o pontius_n pilate_n witness_v a_o good_a confession_n that_o

and_o lord_n of_o lord_n who_o only_o have_v immortality_n dwell_v in_o the_o light_n which_o no_o man_n can_v approach_v unto_o to_o wit_n in_o his_o own_o wisdom_n or_o with_o his_o bodily_a eye_n who_o no_o man_n have_v see_v nor_o can_v see_v to_o wit_n with_o those_o to_o who_o be_v honour_n and_o power_n everlasting_a amen_n oh_o that_o you_o swordman_n have_v your_o eye_n open_v to_o

for_o his_o appearance_n in_o the_o world_n in_o his_o time_n must_v be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o nature_n he_o only_o have_v immortality_n therefore_o must_v be_v see_v only_o by_o that_o which_o be_v

under_o he_o or_o chain_a they_o up_o yea_o make_v all_o his_o enemy_n within_o and_o without_o to_o go_v backward_o and_o flee_v before_o he_o and_o although_o you_o may_v look_v upon_o this_o as_o a_o weak_a &_o inconsiderable_a thing_n because_o it_o seem_v not_o pompous_a to_o your_o carnal_a eye_n yet_o know_v that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o great_a force_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v for_o be_v
