the_o first_o objection_n that_o meet_v i_o ask_v how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n be_v these_o great_a and_o deep_a mystery_n reveal_v and_o make_v know_v for_o we_o be_v in_o doubt_n whether_o

thing_n be_v weighty_a and_o may_v be_v allow_v of_o to_o search_v and_o follow_v this_o query_n close_a and_o home_n for_o too_o many_o there_o be_v that_o be_v pretender_n to_o the_o gift_n of_o

spirit_n they_o come_v forth_o as_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n to_o give_v his_o mind_n out_o for_o assure_o they_o will_v be_v call_v to_o a_o severe_a account_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n now_o

and_o voice_n in_o his_o day_n since_o christ_n the_o lord_n ascend_v than_o what_o it_o be_v before_o when_o as_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v express_o to_o the_o patriarch_n and_o
