only_o produce_v itself_o to_o manifest_v its_o father_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v all_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a benefit_n of_o nature_n in_o that_o have_v receive_v a_o

without_o any_o vocal_a voice_n that_o they_o speak_v be_v most_o certain_a for_o that_o a_o apostle_n say_v though_o he_o have_v the_o eloquence_n of_o angel_n etc._n etc._n but_o they_o speak_v

of_o the_o most_o able_a and_o learn_a man_n to_o join_v in_o this_o that_o to_o know_v much_o and_o to_o want_v the_o art_n of_o expression_n be_v even_o nothing_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o to_o know_v little_a and_o to_o be_v able_a to_o make_v one_o self_n to_o be_v understand_v be_v a_o great_a glory_n whence_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o according_a to_o the_o esteem_n of_o most_o
