four_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v further_o that_o as_o man_n differ_v concern_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o punishment_n so_o they_o differ_v concern_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o sin_n some_o tell_v

another_o nature_n from_o the_o other_o so_o the_o punishment_n be_v which_o they_o suppose_v to_o be_v allot_v to_o it_o now_o if_o man_n do_v agree_v about_o the_o sin_n there_o can_v be_v little_a
