the_o mingle_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o any_o seâ—d_n with_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o vine_n and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o sow_v of_o any_o seed_n together_o with_o their_o vine_n be_v

the_o fruit_n whereof_o be_v not_o likely_a to_o be_v mingle_v with_o that_o of_o the_o vine_n and_o thus_o as_o in_o that_o law_n levit._n 19_o 19_o the_o sow_v of_o several_a kind_n of_o grain_n

the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o seed_n which_o thou_o have_v sow_v and_o the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o vineyard_n be_v defile_v some_o understand_v it_o thus_o lest_o the_o fruit_n of_o their_o seed_n and_o
