12._o i_o will_v repeat_v a_o few_o word_n out_o of_o the_o 13._o book_n of_o pliny_n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o palm_n tree_n and_o i_o will_v apply_v the_o same_o unto_o the_o image_n of_o

of_o davide_n if_o any_o man_n understand_v this_o that_o he_o do_v see_v in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n whereas_o any_o one_o person_n of_o the_o godhead_n speak_v of_o the_o other_o or_o

the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o s._n john_n 1._o call_v the_o worde_n and_o who_o be_v the_o express_a image_n of_o the_o eternal_a father_n now_o consider_v how_o great_a a_o benefit_n it_o be_v and_o how_o evident_a ●_o testimony_n of_o his_o great_a lone_n towards_o we_o that_o the_o eternal_a god_n have_v send_v unto_o we_o the_o coeternal_a son_n his_o image_n take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n wherein_o whole_o shine_v god_n the_o son_n in_o a_o league_n immutable_a but_o alack_o too_o freeze_v hearted_a be_v we_o in_o consider_v so_o great_a matter_n therefore_o we_o must_v
