some_o affirm_v that_o death_n be_v natural_a not_o accidental_a or_o occasional_a to_o mankind_n they_o argue_v for_o this_o opinion_n first_o thus_o adam_n die_v not_o the_o death_n of_o the_o

in_o or_o a_o consequent_a of_o his_o nature_n i_o answer_v though_o adam_n die_v not_o present_o a_o natural_a death_n yet_o he_o be_v present_o make_v subject_n or_o liable_a unto_o death_n the_o

do_v fear_v and_o shame_n pain_n and_o distemper_n sweat_n and_o weariness_n quick_o show_v themselves_o as_o so_o many_o harbinger_n or_o forerunner_n of_o his_o approach_a dissolution_n we_o see_v
