will_v have_v be_v translate_v into_o another_o without_o any_o uneasy_a passage_n through_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n but_o when_o sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n death_n also_o enter_v with_o it_o and_o by_o it_o and_o take_v its_o original_a commission_n for_o destroy_v from_o god_n primitive_a curse_n upon_o our_o disobedience_n and_o indeed_o they_o be_v now_o link_v together_o so_o
