man_n now_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o heart_n alienate_v they_o from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n quest_n now_o you_o will_v say_v what_o do_v you_o mean_v when_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o life_n of_o

the_o thing_n they_o converse_v about_o be_v high_a and_o therefore_o they_o be_v more_o noble_a and_o high_a than_o other_o man_n as_o some_o child_n of_o man_n know_v no_o other_o excellency_n
