because_o he_o be_v make_v of_o the_o earth_n 8_o but_o i_o shall_v have_v tell_v you_o first_o more_v at_o large_a how_o the_o lord_n god_n plant_v a_o garden_n eastward_o of_o judea_n in_o the_o

of_o who_o fruit_n if_o a_o man_n eat_v it_o have_v this_o strange_a effect_n that_o it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n know_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_a for_o the_o lord_n god_n
