among_o some_o heathen_a which_o have_v no_o opinion_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n they_o make_v small_a account_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o under_o the_o pagane_n emperor_n of_o rome_n

superfluous_a and_o unnecessary_a cost_n which_o be_v bestow_v upon_o the_o sepulcher_n of_o the_o dead_a as_o the_o king_n of_o egypt_n have_v their_o costly_a pyramid_n and_o queen_n artemisia_n
