that_o the_o grecian_n do_v retain_v the_o name_n of_o japetus_n jove_n aeolus_n and_o many_o other_o not_o know_v whence_o they_o spring_v but_o when_o the_o story_n of_o moses_n do_v show_v their_o

the_o name_n &_o history_n of_o the_o heathen_a do_v testify_v that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o more_o ancient_a which_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o the_o studious_a to_o

which_o do_v establish_v law_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v the_o common_a madness_n of_o all_o the_o gentile_n to_o call_v upon_o a_o multitude_n of_o god_n and_o to_o
