himself_o whole_o &_o altogether_o to_o be_v god_n for_o he_o set_v it_o down_o thus_o that_o god_n create_v and_o make_v adam_n visible_a in_o christ_n and_o not_o further_o manifest_v himself_o in_o

that_o god_n do_v create_v and_o make_v man_n visible_a the_o first_o time_n in_o christ_n and_o be_v now_o the_o second_o time_n whole_o new_a generate_v in_o christ_n 6._o from_o this_o now_o it_o

that_o man_n be_v total_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o so_o s._n he_o can_v fail_v of_o his_o purpose_n 7._o for_o if_o in_o christ_n he_o be_v come_v to_o be_v visible_a as_o to_o this_o world_n in_o
