the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n dwell_v and_o from_o who_o they_o receive_v their_o testimony_n neither_o be_v they_o compel_v to_o bear_v witness_n but_o through_o the_o same_o anoint_v they_o

neither_o will_n nor_o skill_n to_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o father_n unless_o they_o have_v a_o directory_n from_o man_n and_o those_o that_o never_o worship_n god_n without_o a_o human_a power_n

and_o his_o spirit_n if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o zechariah_n there_o be_v mention_n of_o one_o golden_a candlestick_n which_o i_o conceive_v be_v the_o general_a church_n of_o

by_o the_o candlestick_n one_o upon_o the_o right_a side_n of_o the_o bowl_n and_o the_o other_o upon_o the_o left_a side_n thereof_o now_o these_o two_o olive-tree_n be_v jesus_n christ_n ☜_o and_o
