all_o man_n be_v subject_a once_o to_o die_v and_o in_o that_o all_o man_n be_v alike_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v difference_n in_o the_o term_n of_o life_n for_o one_o live_v long_a and_o another_o

that_o it_o fail_v the_o soul_n be_v constrain_v to_o forsake_v the_o body_n and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o life_n of_o that_o man_n and_o because_o this_o natural_a heat_n hold_v of_o fire_n
