what_o a_o large_a character_n do_v he_o think_v fit_a to_o give_v of_o his_o predecessor_n matth._n xi_o 11._o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o among_o they_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o woman_n there_o

9.36_o nay_o so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o so_o four_o a_o temper_n that_o he_o high_o extol_v andronicus_n and_o junias_n who_o be_v in_o christ_n before_o he_o and_o who_o be_v of_o note_n among_o
