objection_n may_v be_v make_v concern_v the_o honour_n of_o burn_a so_o often_o mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n from_o whence_o some_o infer_v that_o the_o dead_a among_o the_o jew_n be_v sometime_o

wherefore_o we_o answer_v that_o those_o burn_n mention_v in_o scripture_n be_v quite_o of_o another_o nature_n and_o must_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o corpse_n but_o of_o sweet-scented_n wood_n
