be_v not_o nourish_v as_o the_o angel_n that_o come_v to_o lot_n and_o abraham_n and_o have_v create_v body_n so_o these_o dead_a man_n do_v all_o the_o action_n that_o live_a man_n do_v they_o hear_v they_o pray_v they_o read_v but_o they_o turn_v it_o not_o into_o flesh_n and_o blood_n because_o there_o be_v no_o life_n in_o they_o they_o be_v not_o the_o strong_a for_o hear_v or_o any_o thing_n they_o do_v they_o thrive_v not_o as_o those_o that_o have_v the_o boulimia_fw-la they_o eat_v and_o drink_v not_o because_o there_o be_v a_o atrophy_n in_o their_o body_n we_o preach_v to_o man_n

such_o a_o thing_n when_o he_o can_v conceive_v argument_n on_o both_o side_n he_o be_v free_a there_o be_v no_o such_o external_a impediment_n in_o he_o as_o to_o bid_v one_o in_o darkness_n to_o do_v a_o thing_n of_o the_o light_n or_o one_o bind_v hand_n and_o foot_n in_o a_o pit_n to_o come_v out_o since_o the_o chief_a impediment_n here_o be_v in_o the_o deprave_a will_n of_o man_n which_o
