of_o christ_n which_o begin_v when_o the_o gospel_n be_v publish_v yea_o the_o whole_a argument_n of_o the_o psalm_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o letter_n authentical_a wherewith_o christ_n be_v

which_o we_o call_v a_o simile_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o a_o thing_n like_o when_o the_o apostle_n transfer_v that_o to_o the_o angel_n which_o be_v proper_o speak_v of_o the_o wind_n 8_o but_o
