spirit_n of_o god_n never_o plant_v holiness_n till_o he_o have_v purge_v out_o uncleanness_n
as_o soon_o as_o he_o live_v for_o he_o must_v be_v perfect_v in_o the_o womb_n and_o bring_v forth_o and_o so_o be_v a_o child_n of_o the_o world_n he_o live_v before_o the_o life_n of_o the_o womb_n

of_o god_n when_o his_o image_n of_o holiness_n declare_v it_o q._n well_o the_o similitude_n may_v serve_v let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o three_o head_n and_o first_o what_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o creation_n a._n the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o almost_o all_o the_o scripture_n proove_v two_o place_n may_v serve_v 1._o cor._n 6.11_o but_o you_o be_v wash_v purge_v &_o sanctify_v hy_z the_o

for_o even_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o union_n of_o christ_n our_o head_n with_o our_o flesh_n the_o holy_a ghost_n most_o miraculous_o do_v concur_v with_o the_o matter_n of_o conception_n and_o do_v
