the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v to_o inform_v you_o that_o all_o our_o book_n and_o declaration_n that_o for_o these_o many_o year_n have_v be_v publish_v to_o the_o world_n do_v clear_o testify_v to_o the_o contrary_a but_o yet_o for_o your_o sake_n this_o be_v now_o give_v forth_o that_o god_n who_o be_v the_o only_a wise_a omnipotent_a and_o everlasting_a god_n we_o do_v own_o and_o believe_v in_o who_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n and_o the_o preserver_n of_o all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v who_o be_v god_n
