christ_n speak_v to_o they_o so_o much_o about_o it_o as_o he_o do_v for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o their_o own_o fault_n that_o they_o be_v not_o inward_o prepare_v and_o if_o it_o be_v impossible_a

then_o vouchsafe_v to_o appear_v more_o remarkable_o to_o instruct_v man_n than_o ever_o he_o do_v since_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n remain_v in_o unbelief_n or_o
