as_o they_o make_v doubt_n concern_v the_o time_n which_o they_o will_v not_o have_v begin_v with_o the_o univer_n let_v i_o ask_v they_o also_o why_o the_o world_n be_v set_v in_o that_o place_n

since_o there_o be_v never_o any_o before_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v no_o consequence_n that_o god_n frame_v the_o univers_a rather_o by_o adventure_n then_o by_o divine_a
