by_o the_o fall_n which_o he_o may_v have_v know_v without_o ask_v man_n be_v make_v in_o or_o according_a to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n by_o creation_n but_o that_o image_n be_v not_o bestial_a

excellent_o argue_v brave_a logic_n who_o can_v refel_v such_o unanswerable_a argument_n can_v nothing_o but_o reason_n distinguish_v man_n from_o beast_n what_o because_o the_o heathen_n can_v find_v out_o nothing_o else_o must_v we_o be_v so_o heathenish_a to_o believe_v that_o nothing_o else_o can_v do_v it_o i_o have_v tell_v he_o before_o and_o now_o reiterate_v it_o that_o the_o image_n of_o
