and_o as_o the_o body_n do_v live_v continual_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o continual_a union_n with_o their_o live_a immaterial_a soul_n so_o the_o soul_n may_v die_v the_o second_o death_n

the_o romish_a church_n do_v never_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o priest_n may_v actual_o or_o virtual_o intend_v to_o do_v what_o the_o church_n appoint_v he_o to_o do_v when_o he_o administer_v the_o
