translate_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o if_o the_o translation_n than_o the_o original_n for_o what_o ever_o be_v the_o instrument_n to_o convert_v the_o soul_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n some_o be_v firm_a that_o god_n never_o work_v a_o miracle_n but_o to_o confirm_v truth_n this_o be_v past_a question_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v never_o work_v this_o
