here_o be_v most_o false_a 2_o angel_n and_o man_n be_v either_o oblige_v to_o obey_v god_n or_o not_o if_o not_o than_o they_o may_v do_v what_o they_o please_v they_o can_v sin_v and_o so_o also_o

they_o nor_o have_v he_o any_o superior_a sovereign_n and_o though_o
christ_n be_v under_o the_o law_n as_o man_n yet_o he_o be_v never_o under_o it_o as_o god_n or_o else_o so_o shall_v the_o father_n and_o spirit_n also_o see_v they_o be_v all_o one_o and_o the_o
