now_o consider_v if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o no_o man_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n but_o he_o that_o descend_v who_o be_v in_o heaven_n what_o will_v this_o last_o clause_n add_v to_o the_o rest_n no_o man_n can_v ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n but_o then_o he_o must_v be_v in_o heaven_n no_o man_n can_v descend_v from_o heaven_n but_o then_o when_o he_o descend_v he_o must_v be_v there_o and_o this_o be_v apparent_a to_o every_o man_n upon_o the_o repeat_n of_o the_o very_a term_n who_o understand'_v they_o and_o therefore_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v construe_v who_o be_v in_o heaven_n there_o
