13.11_o 1_o cor._n 15_o 34._o rom._n 13.11_o as_o in_o these_o place_n awake_v true_o out_o of_o sleep_n and_o sin_n not_o the_o hour_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v rise_v from_o sleep_n where_o the_o

the_o natural_a power_n be_v busy_a as_o appetite_n digestion_n of_o meat_n concoction_n and_o feed_v of_o the_o body_n so_o in_o sin_n the_o soul_n be_v make_v without_o feeling_n of_o god_n or_o
