same_o i_o can_v believe_v nay_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o will_v not_o believe_v from_o hence_o then_o observe_v that_o the_o 2.14_o natural_a man_n if_o christ_n once_o leave_v he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o discern_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n especial_o that_o hard_a article_n concern_v the_o resur_n rection_n it_o seem_v as_o a_o 24.11_o feign_a thing_n to_o such_o as_o with_o their_o sense_n only_o

it_o too_o much_o second_o mary_n believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o marlorat_n therefore_o have_v no_o such_o need_n to_o touch_v he_o as_o thomas_n have_v three_o christ_n do_v

according_a to_o that_o of_o 3.1_o paul_n if_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n set_v your_o affection_n on_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o not_o on_o thing_n which_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n and_o

as_o if_o christ_n shall_v say_v you_o need_v not_o be_v so_o fond_a and_o forward_a in_o touch_v i_o nowfor_o i_o mean_v not_o as_o yet_o to_o depart_v from_o you_o but_o go_v tell_v my_o brethren_n that_o i_o be_o rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o then_o both_o they_o and_o you_o shall_v further_o handle_v and_o see_v i_o for_o so_o we_o find_v luk._n 24.39_o behold_v my_o hand_n and_o
