without_o their_o leave_n and_o licence_n as_o many_o of_o the_o hindoos_n ascribe_v to_o much_o unto_o water_n as_o before_o so_o these_o to_o fire_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v this_o because_o they_o have_v have_v this_o tradition_n from_o many_o age_n and_o generation_n past_a that_o their_o great_a lawgiver_n who_o they_o call_v zertoost_n be_v rapt_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o
