not_o only_o true_o say_v of_o the_o man_n christ_n that_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a omniscient_a etc._n etc._n but_o also_o that_o of_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o same_o be_v

from_o the_o knowledge_n whereof_o depend_v the_o life_n and_o salvation_n not_o only_o of_o learned_a man_n and_o logician_n but_o of_o the_o unlearned_a and_o of_o all_o common_a christian_n
