do_v not_o submit_v himself_o to_o bodily_a sickness_n do_v render_v this_o reason_n because_o he_o heal_v all_o manner_n of_o disease_n in_o other_o and_o if_o he_o have_v be_v sick_a himself_o they_o will_v have_v say_v unto_o he_o physician_n heal_v thyself_o or_o will_v have_v say_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o be_v a_o impostor_n a_o deceiver_n because_o he_o heal_v other_o but_o

sickness_n or_o disease_n he_o die_v a_o violent_a death_n by_o the_o cruelty_n of_o his_o enemy_n though_o sometime_o they_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v sick_a yet_o they_o quick_o see_v he_o up_o
