brief_o you_o see_v this_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o mystery_n a_o thing_n hide_v and_o so_o keep_v close_o that_o the_o natural_a man_n can_v never_o so_o much_o as_o have_v a_o thought_n in_o

that_o the_o natural_a soul_n can_v not_o do_v so_o much_o as_o once_o suspect_v that_o there_o be_v a_o saviour_n it_o be_v a_o folly_n to_o think_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n be_v
