and_o stay_v of_o your_o mind_n you_o continue_v not_o long_o in_o that_o condition_n but_o you_o consult_v with_o the_o subtlety_n which_o draw_v you_o from_o god_n witness_n what_o you_o shall_v

and_o for_o you_o and_o if_o you_o own_o the_o light_n that_o will_v plain_o show_v unto_o you_o how_o god_n former_o appear_v unto_o you_o and_o how_o you_o go_v from_o his_o appearance_n so_o the_o
