of_o truth_n be_v present_a and_o assist_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o help_v its_o infirmity_n which_o spirit_n also_o dwell_v in_o we_o and_o be_v that_o which_o raise_v up_o christ_n and_o also_o that_o quicken_v our_o mortal_a body_n and_o therefore_o to_o subdue_v this_o spirit_n be_v to_o reject_v god_n and_o good_a in_o as_o deep_a rebellion_n and_o blasphemy_n as_o the_o angel_n reserve_v to_o blackness_n and_o darkness_n ever_o do_v but_o there_o be_v two_o other_o spirit_n one_o of_o god_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o his_o very_a immediate_a spirit_n aforesaid_a of_o which_o the_o belove_a apostle_n thus_o believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n but_o try_v the_o spirit_n if_o they_o be_v of_o god_n for_o many_o false_a prophet_n and_o consequent_o spirit_n be_v go_v forth_o

namely_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n which_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o a_o historical_a confession_n because_o also_o confess_v must_v have_v have_v that_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o very_o it_o be_v
