the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v upon_o he_o but_o we_o have_v already_o interpret_v that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o strength_n and_o although_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v

the_o holy_a ghost_n far_o if_o it_o be_v sin_n what_o praise_n of_o faith_n can_v there_o be_v in_o it_o because_o he_o fear_v not_o to_o render_v that_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v what_o if_o the_o vow_n be_v not_o lawful_a can_v faith_n be_v there_o praise_v moreover_o he_o say_v he_o decline_v not_o from_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o he_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v have_v prohibit_v he_o from_o kill_v of_o his_o daughter_n he_o will_v rather_o utter_o perform_v the_o will_n of_o god_n then_o contemn_v it_o these_o thing_n be_v well_o speak_v if_o he_o have_v be_v

of_o this_o maiden_n shall_v not_o be_v put_v in_o oblivion_n these_o thing_n we_o have_v out_o of_o augustine_n by_o which_o word_n appear_v that_o he_o think_v that_o this_o virgin_n be_v in_o
