and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o second_o general_a part_n of_o the_o text_n viz._n the_o stream_n all_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o three_o and_o last_o general_a part_n be_v the_o bank_n and_o grace_n for_o grace_n every_o fountain_n have_v a_o stream_n every_o stream_n have_v its_o bank_n therefore_o the_o evangelist_n here_o show_v not_o only_o the_o fountain_n from_o whence_o and_o the_o
