of_o man_n with_o this_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o a_o free_a retribution_n be_v do_v to_o the_o soul_n as_o according_a to_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n it_o ought_v

it_o also_o of_o necessity_n be_v that_o the_o body_n be_v recompense_v some_o with_o honour_n other_o with_o disdain_n to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n may_v remain_v just_a for_o ever_o for_o even_o
