to_o do_v and_o also_o how_o our_o nature_n be_v thereby_o make_v strong_a and_o mighty_a througth_n that_o strength_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o who_o we_o find_v no_o infirmity_n but_o be_v

in_o the_o land_n he_o take_v hold_v that_o be_v on_o our_o weakness_n and_o imperfection_n and_o out_o of_o they_o he_o bring_v his_o own_o power_n and_o strength_n and_o other_o food_n the_o son_n of_o god_n never_o take_v into_o unity_n nor_o digest_v to_o gather_v strength_n unto_o himself_o by_o again_o as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o drink_v the_o blood_n that_o be_v takes_z in_o or_o receive_v
