to_o find_v out_o some_o more_o satisfactory_a answer_n for_o there_o be_v some_o other_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o the_o faith_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n remain_v inviolable_o among_o all_o

and_o be_v invisible_a i_o hope_v the_o two_o first_o reason_n will_v be_v take_v off_o by_o consent_n and_o first_o it_o be_v understand_v i_o think_v by_o all_o 17._o mat._n 17._o that_o the_o
