that_o be_v his_o disciple_n they_o ask_v of_o he_o say_v lord_n will_v thou_o at_o this_o time_n restore_v again_o the_o kingdom_n to_o israel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o epidemical_a disease_n of_o

though_o not_o corporal_o and_o it_o be_v no_o way_n improper_a to_o call_v it_o a_o senseless_a opinion_n since_o they_o must_v deny_v the_o office_n of_o all_o the_o sense_n that_o all_o man_n
