we_o have_v something_o affirm_v and_o assert_v of_o this_o subject_a viz._n that_o he_o go_v by_o it_o that_o be_v by_o his_o divine_a nature_n and_o preach_v though_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v not_o yet_o assume_v a_o humane_a nature_n yet_o he_o do_v exist_v in_o his_o divine_a nature_n though_o he_o come_v to_o man_n in_o time_n yet_o he_o be_v with_o the_o father_n from_o eternity_n and_o so_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o preach_v before_o he_o be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n as_o a_o candle_n can_v shine_v and_o give_v light_a before_o it_o be_v put_v into_o a_o lantern_n
