respect_n of_o man_n we_o may_v so_o apprehend_v they_o without_o offence_n because_o otherwise_o god_n omnipotency_n can_v clear_o be_v conceive_v by_o man_n capacity_n but_o as_o to_o these_o word_n

in_o the_o second_o chapter_n verse_n 2._o and_o god_n rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v cread_v and_o make_v and_o likewise_o in_o the_o four_o verse_n these_o be_v the_o
