whereas_o indeed_o they_o be_v two_o different_a faith_n of_o diverse_a kind_n &_o nature_n thus_o short_o of_o the_o second_o promise_n now_o it_o rest_v that_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o three_o

well_o the_o blood_n from_o the_o water_n and_o the_o water_n from_o the_o blood_n i_o see_v here_o something_o above_o nature_n and_o i_o be_o compel_v to_o think_v and_o say_v that_o there_o be_v

of_o the_o force_n of_o that_o death_n they_o testify_v not_o of_o a_o death_n only_o but_o of_o a_o powerful_a death_n no_o man_n death_n be_v ever_o so_o powerful_a as_o the_o death_n of_o the_o
