if_o you_o say_v it_o be_v god_n his_o book_n we_o believe_v you_o not_o because_o you_o say_v so_o but_o because_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a but_o if_o you_o bring_v out_o a_o false_a sense_n

because_o we_o know_v this_o sense_n be_v contrary_a to_o a_o other_o scripture_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v the_o lord_n thy_o god._n so_o when_o you_o say_v these_o word_n be_v the_o
