most_o heavenly_a most_o innocent_a and_o most_o divine_a for_o never_o any_o man_n speak_v as_o he_o speak_v nor_o with_o such_o authority_n again_o he_o always_o pronounce_v that_o he_o seek_v not_o his_o own_o glory_n which_o deceiver_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v but_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n and_o as_o he_o speak_v so_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o life_n and_o

that_o it_o proceed_v undoubted_o from_o god_n i_o prove_v thus_o either_o it_o must_v proceed_v from_o god_n or_o from_o the_o devil_n or_o from_o man_n but_o it_o be_v too_o holy_a to_o proceed_v either_o from_o man_n or_o deville_n for_o it_o overthrow_v the_o work_n and_o kingdom_n of_o the_o one_o and_o forbid_v the_o revenge_a spirit_n of_o the_o other_o command_v man_n to_o love_v their_o

a_o other_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o religion_n which_o respect_v only_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v and_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o only_a true_a religion_n but_o such_o be_v the_o christian_a
