which_o be_v it_o that_o here_o i_o mind_n also_o therefore_o likewise_o this_o be_v not_o the_o learning_n here_o mean_v see_v it_o be_v reject_v of_o they_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o help_n nor_o

also_o manifest_v to_o other_o so_o that_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n both_o for_o matter_n and_o manner_n flow_v from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o not_o what_o man_n wisdom_n

13.6_o all_o act_n 13.6_o subtlety_n in_o this_o kind_n but_o a_o turner_n from_o the_o faith_n and_o not_o to_o it_o and_o a_o perverter_n of_o the_o straight_a way_n of_o god_n the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o 1.7_o in_o 1_o tim._n 1.7_o those_o of_o who_o paul_n speak_v that_o will_v be_v doctor_n of_o the_o law_n and_o yet_o know_v not_o what_o they_o say_v nor_o whereof_o they_o

as_o first_o because_o nothing_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n can_v bring_v any_o to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o so_o say_v the_o 2.12_o the_o cor._n 2.12_o
