seem_v so_o but_o be_v soon_o change_v from_o willing_a to_o be_v unwilling_a and_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o man_n do_v not_o live_v more_o suitable_a to_o their_o own_o resolution_n be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v never_o willing_a but_o because_o man_n do_v change_v their_o mind_n from_o willing_a to_o unwilling_a for_o which_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o god_n desclaime_v his_o be_v like_o
