man_n need_v once_o to_o dream_v of_o a_o habitation_n upon_o earth_n second_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n yet_o be_v this_o cause_n a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o all_o sober_a man_n to_o persuade_v they_o of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o new_a earth_n namely_o that_o whereas_o sin_n have_v now_o make_v it_o subject_a to_o corruption_n and_o yet_o the_o first_o purpose_n of_o god_n that_o
