the_o apostle_n reckon_v all_o those_o to_o be_v dead_a who_o be_v without_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o do_v none_o of_o the_o action_n of_o true_a life_n and_o eternal_a death_n be_v unavoidable_a to_o they_o while_o they_o be_v in_o this_o estate_n but_o the_o apostle_n word_n do_v signify_v somewhat_o more_o yet_o for_o to_o be_v dead_a be_v not_o simple_o to_o be_v
