christ_n first_o the_o humiliation_n of_o christ_n first_o his_o humiliation_n in_o the_o 9_o five_o for_o that_o he_o say_v he_o ascend_v what_o be_v it_o but_o that_o he_o descend_v first_o into_o

the_o ten_o verse_n he_o that_o descend_v be_v the_o same_o also_o that_o ascend_v far_o above_o all_o heaven_n for_o these_o two_o verse_n be_v read_v by_o a_o parenthesis_n and_o be_v add_v by_o the_o apostle_n for_o the_o full_a explication_n of_o those_o hide_a mystery_n that_o be_v include_v in_o the_o word_n he_o ascend_v first_o touch_v the_o descension_n the_o apostle_n set_v down_o
