of_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o same_o word_n and_o withal_o peace_n and_o unity_n among_o his_o people_n arise_v from_o the_o same_o unity_n the_o three_o be_v in_o

viz_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n speak_v and_o work_v powerful_o in_o the_o word_n it_o be_v not_o the_o word_n alone_o nor_o the_o spirit_n alone_o but_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n go_v
