proposition_n than_o there_o must_v be_v a_o subject_a and_o a_o predicate_v and_o then_o the_o father_n be_v predicate_v of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v impossible_a unless_o we_o will_v say_v god_n

predicate_v of_o god_n than_o it_o must_v be_v upon_o this_o ground_n that_o whenever_o one_o word_n be_v put_v true_o in_o apposition_n to_o another_o word_n as_o here_o the_o word_n father_n be_v
