that_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o the_o least_o alteration_n tend_v to_o any_o hurt_n what_o ever_o and_o so_o his_o body_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o any_o grief_n nor_o his_o spirit_n to_o

33._o of_o that_o 2._o of_o the_o act_n peter_n give_v a_o account_n how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v so_o fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_z that_o christ_n have_v receive_v

receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o we_o by_o have_v power_n then_o give_v he_o to_o shed_v he_o down_o upon_o they_o as_o god_n have_v promise_v though_o this_o be_v a_o true_a meaning_n of_o it_o but_o further_a that_o he_o have_v receive_v he_o first_o as_o pour_v forth_o on_o himself_o and_o so_o shed_v he_o forth_o on_o they_o according_a to_o that_o rule_n that_o whatever_o god_n do_v unto_o we_o by_o christ_n he_o first_o do_v it_o unto_o christ_n all_o promise_n be_v make_v and_o fulfil_v unto_o he_o first_o and_o so_o unto_o we_o in_o he_o all_o that_o he_o bestow_v on_o we_o he_o receive_v in_o himself_o and_o this_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n why_o as_o john_n 7._o 39_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o give_v because_o jesus_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o
