and_o that_o not_o only_o repeat_v the_o letter_n but_o in_o truth_n that_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v receive_v have_v not_o be_v from_o man_n nor_o woman_n nor_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o mere_a revelation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o i_o god_n manifest_v himself_o in_o my_o own_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o they_o much_o wrong_v both_o she_o and_o i_o that_o affirm_v it_o
