it_o be_v bound_v with_o no_o limit_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v say_v the_o spirit_n blow_v where_o it_o list_v and_o that_o without_o resistance_n that_o this_o spirit_n can_v convert_v

natural_a spirit_n to_o make_v blood_n fat_a flesh_n and_o bone_n for_o this_o reason_n therefore_o i_o say_v namely_o because_o of_o the_o presence_n of_o this_o incorruptible_a spirit_n in_o the_o
