that_o the_o pow-wow_n can_v kill_v he_o he_o answer_v they_o can_v not_o they_o ask_v he_o again_o why_o he_o tell_v they_o because_o he_o do_v believe_v in_o god_n and_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o that_o therefore_o all_o the_o pow-wow_n can_v not_o do_v he_o any_o hurt_n then_o they_o all_o wonder_v exceed_o when_o he_o speak_v thus_o so_o open_o then_o divers_a of_o they_o say_v one_o by_o
