be_v make_v flesh_n from_o whence_o i_o do_v maintain_v and_o publish_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n coequal_a coeternall_a and_o coessential_a with_o the_o father_n contrary_a to_o all_o those_o

there_o be_v three_o person_n distinct_a from_o each_o other_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n the_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o not_o so_o as_o to_o
