let_v we_o then_o sit_v still_o and_o consider_v what_o will_v follow_v from_o it_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o this_o same_o person_n that_o be_v now_o bear_v do_v live_v perhaps_o before_o in_o the_o

and_o if_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o they_o it_o will_v unavoidable_o follow_v that_o these_o grandchild_n beget_v the_o very_a same_o person_n that_o beget_v their_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o if_o
