and_o now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o high_a mystical_a spiritual_a procession_n of_o the_o spirit_n from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o the_o will_n of_o god_n do_v act_n

through_o by_o a_o finite_a creature_n christ_n therefore_o must_v be_v god_n that_o he_o may_v abide_v the_o burden_n and_o sustain_v the_o manhood_n by_o his_o divine_a power_n 4._o because_o the_o

and_o pain_n and_o the_o like_a but_o i_o can_v say_v that_o christ_n take_v upon_o he_o all_o our_o personal_a infirmity_n infirmity_n be_v either_o natural_a common_a to_o all_o man_n or_o

his_o enemy_n that_o they_o stumble_v and_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n so_o then_o he_o have_v not_o our_o personal_a infirmity_n but_o only_o our_o natural_a and_o good_a reason_n for_o indeed_o he_o
