know_v wrought_v many_o of_o christ_n miracle_n which_o be_v a_o most_o infallible_a sign_n that_o god_n have_v choose_v they_o to_o be_v apostle_n if_o any_o of_o these_o man_n who_o derive_v their_o

of_o themselves_o nay_o if_o by_o a_o infallible_a illumination_n they_o can_v assure_v themselves_o that_o they_o have_v he_o yet_o as_o many_o as_o have_v not_o the_o like_a infallible_a
