and_o stancarus_n what_o this_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v for_o they_o cite_v these_o word_n of_o the_o rabbin_n the_o sacrifice_n that_o shall_v be_v make_v of_o wine_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v

notwithstanding_o it_o be_v white_a as_o milk_n the_o substance_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o messiah_n thus_o r._n cahana_n who_o live_v long_o before_o

in_o the_o mean_a season_n till_o i_o have_v procure_v it_o which_o i_o hope_v will_v be_v ere_o long_o brief_o thus_o first_o the_o passage_n cite_v out_o of_o bibliander_n make_v against_o you_o
