as_o one_o say_v well_o that_o have_v be_v virgo_fw-la decipiet_fw-la not_o concipiet_fw-la rather_o a_o deceive_a of_o we_o than_o a_o conceive_n of_o he_o 2._o that_o of_o the_o valentinian_n

or_o 2._o this_o hold_v forth_o that_o christ_n be_v heavenly_a or_o from_o heaven_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o glorious_a quality_n which_o he_o receive_v after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o not_o in_o
