that_o never_o be_v what_o law_n condemn_v man_n not_o bear_v to_o die_v let_v we_o therefore_o think_v that_o a_o mystical_a and_o spiritual_a death_n reign_v upon_o all_o the_o predecessor_n of_o

we_o never_o have_v any_o such_o thought_n that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o injustice_n in_o god_n or_o any_o cruelty_n in_o his_o law_n god_n forbid_v that_o any_o such_o thing_n shall_v come_v
