the_o witness_n transmit_v his_o will_n from_o his_o die_a breath_n into_o deed_n of_o long_a continuance_n and_o if_o any_o contention_n shall_v arise_v among_o the_o brethren_n let_v they_o not_o

of_o the_o save_a truth_n by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n will_v never_o be_v persuade_v by_o tradition_n father_n simon_n can_v dispute_v this_o in_o the_o least_o since_o he_o say_v himself_o in_o
