person_n as_o if_o under_o the_o general_a name_n of_o god_n the_o bishop_n will_v leave_v his_o reader_n to_o think_v that_o he_o understand_v the_o father_n and_o the_o spirit_n as_o well_o as_o

to_o think_v that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o seek_v for_o some_o of_o another_o nature_n it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o st._n augustine_n who_o have_v advance_v more_o simile_n than_o any_o of_o
