do_v represent_v it_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o moon_n and_o what_o do_v they_o but_o tread_v it_o under_o their_o foot_n when_o they_o do_v wear_v it_o upon_o their_o shoe_n now_o we_o that_o be_v

what_o say_v the_o apostle_n meat_n for_o the_o belly_n and_o the_o belly_n for_o meat_n but_o god_n will_v destroy_v both_o it_o and_o they_o 13._o meat_n for_o the_o belly_n that_o be_v true_a we_o do_v eat_v to_o live_v and_o the_o belly_n for_o meat_n that_o be_v false_a we_o do_v not_o live_v to_o eat_v therefore_o god_n will_v destroy_v both_o it_o and_o they_o both_o the_o belly_n &_o the_o
