whole_a course_n of_o scripture_n against_o you_o that_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o arrian_n author_n to_o assist_v i_o i_o have_v already_o inform_v you_o what_o turn_v i_o to_o be_v a_o

120_o 121._o and_o tell_v you_o withal_o such_o variance_n be_v no_o miracle_n in_o a_o traditionary_a mystery_n in_o short_a sir_n if_o ever_o you_o design_n for_o truth_n you_o must_v learn_v a_o
