or_o year_n more_o to_o their_o life_n there_o be_v some_o reason_n why_o man_n shall_v thus_o toil_v for_o riches_n but_o can_v a_o rich_a man_n redeem_v his_o life_n from_o death_n with_o thousand_o of_o gold_n and_o silver_n for_o a_o day_n will_v not_o a_o rich_a man_n that_o fear_v death_n and_o hell_n give_v a_o world_n if_o he_o have_v it_o that_o he_o may_v not_o die_v and_o be_v damn_v and_o yet_o ten_o thousand_o of_o world_n can_v redeem_v a_o man_n soul_n from_o death_n and_o hell_n therefore_o why_o be_v man_n so_o greedy_a after_o these_o thing_n that_o can_v make_v their_o
