because_o he_o have_v all_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n that_o we_o gather_v general_o of_o this_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v true_a &_o very_a god_n for_o

we_o understand_v three_o person_n by_o themselves_o distinct_a one_o from_o another_o but_o this_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n may_v better_o be_v believe_v and_o so_o it_o be_v of_o the_o
