of_o faith_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o grace_n of_o hope_n and_o expectation_n of_o the_o promise_v believe_v the_o word_n of_o grace_n the_o grace_n of_o prayer_n and_o

that_o because_o they_o be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n armour_n for_o our_o defence_n against_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n as_o that_o be_v against_o our_o corporal_a and_o be_v defensive_a and_o

show_v to_o what_o captain_n they_o belong_v to_o and_o they_o be_v the_o mean_n which_o we_o must_v use_v and_o whereby_o we_o must_v fight_v against_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n as_o corporal_a armour_n be_v the_o mean_n that_o we_o must_v use_v and_o fight_v in_o against_o our_o corporal_a enemy_n but_o herein_o as_o there_o be_v a_o parity_n or_o likeness_n so_o there_o be_v a_o great_a
