commandment_n for_o a_o sign_n upon_o thy_o hand_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o frontlet_n between_o thy_o eye_n deut._n 6.8_o the_o pharisee_n take_v it_o in_o the_o literal_a sense_n they_o get_v

they_o shall_v meditate_v in_o his_o law_n and_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n and_o so_o the_o papist_n expound_v that_o scripture_n this_o be_v my_o body_n literal_o of_o the_o very_a body_n of_o
