be_v true_a we_o can_v tell_v say_v he_o but_o the_o more_o the_o better_o this_o be_v austin_n answer_n the_o more_o the_o better_o the_o great_a variety_n of_o read_n and_o a_o great_a

because_o they_o be_v both_o a_o truth_n yet_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o what_o be_v answer_v learned_a critic_n give_v this_o answer_n that_o the_o ancient_a greek_n do_v pronounce_v the_o eta_fw-gr

for_o a_o more_o full_a discovery_n of_o the_o word_n i_o much_o hasten_v lest_o i_o shall_v be_v exalt_v through_o a_o abundance_n of_o revelation_n there_o be_v give_v to_o i_o a_o thorn_n in_o
