that_o humane_a affliction_n and_o death_n itself_o be_v natural_a for_o they_o have_v in_o we_o principle_n of_o nature_n from_o whence_o they_o do_v flow_v but_o hereunto_o we_o answer_v that_o these_o principle_n be_v not_o so_o frame_v when_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v first_o institute_v but_o they_o be_v afterward_o vitiate_v and_o corrupt_a as_o we_o now_o see_v they_o be_v the_o
