accidental_o so_o for_o such_o accident_n have_v their_o degree_n for_o they_o say_v christ_n during_o his_o whole_a life_n be_v not_o a_o perfect_a god_n or_o a_o perfect_a lord_n and_o by_o these_o

as_o long_o as_o they_o can_v they_o forge_v in_o a_o dream_n for_o otherwise_o it_o can_v be_v a_o very_a strange_a adventure_n that_o christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n before_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n seem_v undeniable_a therefore_o because_o they_o dare_v not_o give_v he_o the_o lie_n they_o will_v mince_v the_o matter_n thus_o how_o christ_n between_o his_o birth_n and_o death_n and_o before_o

indeed_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n for_o christ_n to_o go_v up_o to_o know_v as_o they_o say_v his_o father_n will_n which_o may_v have_v be_v communicate_v unto_o he_o as_o to_o moses_n john_n

every_o dream_n for_o a_o revelation_n though_o our_o saviour_n here_o call_v himself_o son_n of_o man_n and_o not_o son_n of_o god_n it_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o prejudice_n what_o we_o say_v
