we_o may_v see_v here_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n the_o father_n be_v in_o this_o great_a work_n of_o redeem_v and_o save_v the_o elect_a the_o father_n himself_o love_v they_o for_o he_o send_v

say_v to_o have_v the_o spirit_n give_v unto_o he_o i_o answer_v brief_o in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o it_o be_v true_a that_o jesus_n christ_n as_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o as_o god_n he_o be_v not_o

yet_o they_o be_v not_o confound_v this_o than_o i_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n beyond_o all_o comparison_n beyond_o all_o the_o saint_n on_o
