they_o whilst_o he_o be_v with_o they_o for_o he_o say_v he_o that_o be_v with_o you_o shall_v be_v in_o you_o john_n 14._o 17._o and_o say_v but_o the_o comforter_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a spirit_n who_o the_o father_n will_v send_v in_o my_o name_n he_o will_v teach_v you_o all_o thing_n mark_v what_o that_o be_v that_o teach_v all_o thing_n and_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o your_o remembrance_n what_o soever_o i_o have_v say_v and_o so_o that_o be_v within_o which_o bring_v the_o word_n of_o spirit_n and_o life_n to_o remembrance_n john_n 14._o 25_o 26._o and_o have_v speak_v of_o other_o

i_o depart_v i_o will_v send_v he_o unto_o you_o john_n 16._o 7._o and_o i_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o say_v unto_o you_o but_o you_o can_v bear_v they_o now_o howbeit_o when_o he_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v come_v he_o will_v guide_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n john_n 16._o 12_o 13._o here_o it_o may_v be_v see_v that_o they_o who_o follow_v christ_n without_o and_o not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n within_o can_v not_o bear_v what_o he_o have_v to_o speak_v unto_o they_o and_o also_o it_o may_v be_v see_v that_o when_o the_o spirit_n be_v come_v it_o will_v be_v better_o with_o they_o and_o much_o more_o may_v be_v mention_v how_o christ_n foretell_v what_o be_v to_o come_v and_o be_v receive_v and_o reveal_v in_o that_o day_n john_n 16._o 23._o when_o the_o spirit_n shall_v be_v pour_v forth_o according_a to_o the_o prophet_n all_o which_o plain_o declare_v and_o most_o evident_o set_v forth_o how_o christ_n in_o his_o ministry_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n do_v most_o chief_o direct_v unto_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o be_v then_o yet_o to_o come_v and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o run_v to_o teach_v other_o as_o many_o do_v now_o before_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o themselves_o by_o and_o with_o that_o to_o be_v lead_v into_o all_o truth_n but_o may_v receive_v the_o power_n of_o truth_n in_o themselves_o from_o the_o life_n thereof_o to_o convert_v other_o into_o the_o same_o therefore_o say_v he_o further_o after_o he_o be_v rise_v again_o but_o tarry_v you_o in_o the_o city_n of_o

resurrection_n yet_o that_o and_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v not_o enough_o without_o the_o power_n and_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v to_o come_v which_o they_o be_v to_o wait_v for_o and_o so_o now_o man_n shall_v tarry_v wait_v and_o stand_v still_o to_o see_v the_o salvation_n of_o god_n and_o until_o they_o receive_v the_o spirit_n for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n not_o the_o body_n which_o
