true_a god_n our_o saviour_n find_v the_o world_n but_o the_o clear_a revelation_n he_o bring_v with_o he_o dissipate_v this_o darkness_n make_v the_o one_o invisible_a true_a god_n know_v to_o the_o

of_o one_o god_n have_v prevail_v and_o spread_v itself_o over_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o even_o to_o the_o light_n that_o the_o messiah_n bring_v into_o the_o world_n with_o he_o we_o

and_o manifest_o true_a of_o our_o saviour_n what_o st._n john_n say_v of_o he_o i_o john_n iii_o 8._o for_o this_o purpose_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v that_o he_o may_v destroy_v the_o

of_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o strength_n and_o force_n of_o that_o ancient_a revelation_n upon_o which_o they_o have_v receive_v it_o but_o our_o saviour_n when_o he_o come_v throw_v down_o this_o
