ever_o have_v suffer_v it_o in_o the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o reason_n in_o itself_o before_o the_o fall_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o now_o since_o only_o here_o we_o

reason_n where_o the_o more_o true_o rational_a any_o man_n be_v the_o more_o spiritual_a they_o be_v and_o the_o more_o spiritual_a the_o more_o true_o rational_a here_o actual_o to_o distinguish_v
