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 low_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v david_n when_o he_o forspeak_v of_o the_o glorification_n and_o the_o ascension_n of_o christ_n into_o heaven_n to_o

dederat_fw-la deus_fw-la gratis_o abstulit_fw-la ingratis_fw-la god_n will_v in_o justice_n take_v away_o from_o the_o ungrateful_a what_o he_o have_v free_o bestow_v upon_o they_o for_o so_o our_o
