shall_v put_v god_n to_o his_o purgatory_n to_o clear_v his_o justice_n but_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o clear_v his_o justice_n in_o that_o his_o people_n have_v both_o sin_n and_o suffering_n when_o yet_o it_o will_v be_v too_o clear_a if_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v eternal_a life_n because_o christ_n do_v not_o procure_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v take_v out_o of_o a_o estate_n of_o
