why_o this_o be_v but_o nature_n whereas_o to_o go_v to_o heaven_n it_o be_v necessary_a we_o walk_v in_o a_o supernatural_a path_n much_o contrary_n to_o nature_n wherefore_o sure_o this_o can_v be_v right_o light_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o man_n which_o be_v call_v nature_n one_o reason_n which_o true_o be_v his_o nature_n rule_v all_o his_o action_n as_o he_o be_v man_n and_o

many_o thing_n which_o otherwise_o it_o will_v never_o have_v attain_v to_o be_v very_o reasonable_a and_o by_o force_n of_o reason_n itself_o ought_v to_o be_v enact_v and_o put_v in_o execution_n for_o our_o supernatural_a life_n be_v like_o a_o graft_n which_o though_o it_o bear_v a_o better_a fruit_n than_o the_o stock_n yet_o can_v it_o bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o by_o mean_n of_o
