stir_v up_o their_o distaste_n of_o other_o b._n the_o question_n may_v have_v three_o several_a sense_n of_o passiveness_n as_o man_n be_v consider_v 1._o in_o his_o nature_n 2._o in_o his_o action_n

of_o these_o three_o question_n i._n all_o the_o world_n be_v agree_v save_o the_o hobbist_n and_o somatist_n and_o sadducee_n that_o man_n soul_n be_v not_o mere_a passive_a nature_n but_o be_v a_o
