yet_o avoid_v their_o eternity_n to_o make_v this_o clear_a we_o deny_v that_o infernal_a eternal_a pain_n be_v absolute_o due_a to_o all_o sin_n and_o withal_o with_o the_o schoolman_n particular_o

and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o scotus_n contend_v for_o and_o which_o the_o count_n of_o mirandula_n demonstrate_v at_o large_a namely_o that_o to_o sin_v continue_v to_o eternity_n both_o in_o
