anon_o and_o act_n 21._o 4_o 5._o this_o place_n inform_v we_o that_o the_o disciple_n tell_v paul_n by_o the_o spirit_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n be_v it_o possible_a

as_o you_o then_o as_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o serve_v god_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n so_o god_n require_v it_o not_o of_o they_o whilst_o infant_n but_o so_o strange_o be_v you_o transport_v

such_o notion_n you_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n admit_v the_o holiness_n here_o mention_v to_o be_v mean_v of_o a_o matrimonial_a or_o legitimate_a holiness_n and_o yet_o i_o pray_v what_o
