of_o animality_n be_v only_o a_o state_n of_o mere_a imperfection_n and_o no_o more_o st._n james_n tell_v we_o the_o wisdom_n from_o beneath_o be_v earthly_a sensual_a devilish_a or_o according_a

to_o be_v merchant_n to_o be_v mariner_n yet_o all_o be_v flesh_n before_o they_o come_v to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n see_v he_o will_v not_o have_v this_o state_n natural_o to_o descend_v let_v he_o assign_v some_o general_a cause_n how_o all_o do_v agree_v to_o be_v carnal_a necessary_o some_o general_a cause_n must_v lie_v at_o the_o bottom_n but_o he_o further_o say_v adam_n do_v
