that_o have_v proceed_v to_o the_o second_o and_o so_o to_o the_o three_o and_o therefore_o it_o remain_v for_o a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v

that_o have_v no_o reason_n but_o both_o substance_n life_n sense_n and_o power_n to_o move_v themselves_o as_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o land_n and_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n the_o four_o be_v such_o
