the_o substance_n whereof_o we_o have_v thus_o deliver_v to_o we_o in_o short_a i_o will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v my_o people_n it_o necessary_o therefore_o denote_v a_o

that_o overcome_v shall_v inherit_v all_o thing_n 7._o but_o as_o if_o this_o be_v nothing_o notwithstanding_o all_o thing_n be_v take_v in_o it_o be_v add_v and_o i_o will_v be_v his_o god_n and_o

without_o it_o but_o alas_o who_o can_v tell_v what_o it_o be_v and_o what_o it_o imply_v for_o god_n to_o be_v the_o god_n of_o any_o one_o thus_o much_o in_o general_n be_v plain_a that_o it_o
