out_o of_o the_o divine_a understanding_n and_o mouth_n in_o which_o man_n be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n 3._o now_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v breath_n into_o he_o his_o breath_n viz_o the_o

himself_o whole_o &_o altogether_o to_o be_v god_n for_o he_o set_v it_o down_o thus_o that_o god_n create_v and_o make_v adam_n visible_a in_o christ_n and_o not_o further_o manifest_v himself_o in_o

for_o if_o he_o have_v no_o divine_a knowledge_n and_o if_o god_n have_v never_o be_v manifest_v in_o he_o than_o the_o devil_n may_v easy_o have_v get_v the_o game_n of_o he_o 4._o this_o s._n

that_o man_n be_v total_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o so_o s._n he_o can_v fail_v of_o his_o purpose_n 7._o for_o if_o in_o christ_n he_o be_v come_v to_o be_v visible_a as_o to_o this_o world_n in_o
