of_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n which_o afterward_o become_v the_o meat_n of_o other_o man_n therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o first_o man_n may_v not_o be_v discern_v from_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o latter_a man_n moreover_o this_o will_v the_o more_o plain_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v of_o those_o anthropophagi_n be_v man_n that_o feed_v upon_o man_n flesh_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o
