whatsoever_o come_v before_o he_o though_o useful_a in_o their_o place_n and_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o their_o time_n yet_o be_v all_o to_o give_v place_n and_o pass_v away_o and_o not_o to_o abide_v forever_o in_o the_o house_n for_o they_o be_v but_o servant_n and_o the_o son_n be_v over_o all_o &_o have_v power_n over_o all_o and_o alone_o have_v right_o single_o to_o reign_v of_o the_o increase_n of_o his_o government_n and_o kingdom_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o end_n so_o moses_n be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o house_n as_o a_o servant_n and_o do_v faithful_o minister_v in_o the_o law_n which_o be_v add_v because_o of_o transgression_n until_o the_o seed_n come_v but_o when_o the_o seed_n come_v to_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v who_o be_v and_o be_v the_o heir_n he_o as_o a_o son_n over_o his_o own_o house_n be_v and_o be_v establish_v i_o say_v when_o he_o be_v come_v than_o the_o servant_n service_n end_v in_o that_o nature_n give_v place_n and_o be_v take_v away_o he_o take_v away_o the_o first_o that_o he_o may_v establish_v the_o second_o and_o that_o forever_o which_o will_v never_o be_v remove_v into_o a_o corner_n to_o he_o be_v all_o glory_n whole_o forever_o so_o john_n also_o be_v faithful_a in_o his_o day_n as_o a_o forerunner_n or_o as_o one_o send_v to_o run_v before_o he_o who_o way_n he_o be_v to_o prepare_v and_o he_o cry_v for_o he_o be_v that_o one_o foretold_v of_o who_o voice_n be_v hear_v in_o the_o wilderness_n say_v prepare_v you_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o path_n straight_o but_o the_o lord_n voice_n which_o be_v nigh_o in_o the_o heart_n cry_v this_o be_v the_o way_n walk_v in_o it_o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n no_o man_n can_v come_v unto_o the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o mark_v

and_o john_n be_o the_o way_n no_o no_o but_o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n i_o be_o the_o light_n or_o be_o come_v a_o light_n into_o the_o world_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o darkness_n but_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o life_n mark_v not_o a_o lifeless_a changeable_a or_o shadowy_a light_n but_o a_o unchangeable_a pure_a live_v light_n
