in_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n christ_n where_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v speak_v of_o himself_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o declare_v the_o manner_n how_o

in_o they_o like_o unto_o the_o representation_n of_o a_o image_n therefore_o we_o must_v speak_v thus_o and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o because_o the_o scripture_n do_v continual_o express_v the_o
