to_o discover_v that_o truth_n to_o other_o of_o which_o they_o be_v abundant_o convince_v themselves_o and_o upon_o this_o ground_n i_o think_v that_o there_o lie_v a_o sacred_a and_o heavy_a

or_o bring_v the_o jew_n to_o they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v win_v they_o to_o christ_n by_o the_o innocence_n of_o their_o life_n and_o the_o truth_n and_o evidence_n of_o their_o doctrine_n now_o
