of_o plant_n not_o only_o because_o there_o be_v often_o some_o assistance_n of_o soil_n which_o i_o confess_v make_v it_o much_o rich_a but_o also_o because_o it_o can_v produce_v those_o plant_n which_o natural_o it_o will_v be_v it_o not_o restrain_v for_o still_o it_o receive_v a_o constant_a supply_n from_o nature_n and_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v the_o almighty_a cause_v the_o
