unto_o his_o bless_a will_n we_o may_v likewise_o be_v capable_a of_o this_o excellent_a work_n of_o he_o though_o cley_n make_v of_o spittle_n and_o the_o water_n of_o siloah_n have_v no_o such_o

in_o he_o must_v willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o do_v of_o any_o action_n whatsoever_o wherewithal_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n shall_v manifest_v that_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o
