who_o be_v of_o that_o muscovite_n divine_n mind_n who_o to_o one_o that_o be_v talk_v to_o he_o about_o religion_n and_o the_o other_o world_n reply_v that_o for_o the_o czar_n indeed_o and_o bojar_n

no_o body_n who_o can_v understand_v any_o ordinary_a sentence_n in_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n about_o it_o and_o it_o be_v plain_a it_o need_v no_o other_o explication_n than_o what_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o apostle_n give_v it_o in_o their_o preach_a for_o as_o they_o preach_v it_o man_n receive_v it_o and_o that_o suffice_v to_o make_v they_o believer_n to_o conclude_v

the_o preach_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v because_o those_o fundamental_a article_n be_v in_o those_o epistle_n promiscuous_o and_o without_o distinction_n mix_v with_o other_o
