make_v some_o inference_n from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v and_o let_v i_o premise_v this_o it_o will_v be_v wisdom_n for_o we_o to_o look_v this_o king_n of_o terror_n in_o the_o face_n and_o to_o

let_v we_o live_v as_o such_o who_o be_v to_o die_v because_o death_n be_v a_o evil_n to_o nature_n let_v we_o not_o hasten_v it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a consequent_a of_o our_o sin_n
