of_o the_o letter_n some_o think_v it_o be_v unnecessary_a to_o know_v such_o mystery_n indeed_o every_a one_o nature_n be_v not_o fit_v with_o a_o capacity_n for_o the_o high_a depth_n therefore_o they_o need_v not_o search_v so_o far_o nor_o trouble_v themselves_o to_o look_v for_o the_o understanding_n of_o that_o they_o desire_v not_o to_o know_v but_o that_o they_o may_v see_v how_o
