therefore_o he_o work_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n thus_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n remarkable_a in_o work_v quick_o and_o easy_o and_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v long_o on_o these_o thing_n because_o in_o many_o passage_n we_o meet_v with_o it_o god_n at_o the_o first_o make_v the_o world_n and_o with_o a_o word_n he_o speak_v the_o word_n and_o all_o be_v make_v
