by_o the_o holy_a god_n and_o by_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n see_v that_o the_o bless_a trinity_n so_o many_o hundred_o year_n past_a have_v already_o sufficient_o and_o abundant_o

show_v in_o wash_v the_o body_n they_o may_v also_o be_v of_o strength_n to_o purify_v the_o mind_n that_o the_o natural_a property_n of_o water_n be_v to_o cleanse_v the_o body_n and_o all_o

that_o purify_v the_o mind_n and_o search_v the_o reins_o and_o heart_n man_n be_v the_o minister_n water_v the_o thing_n minister_v but_o god_n be_v he_o that_o work_v all_o as_o the_o apostle_n
