nature_n &_o poison_n be_v that_o which_o work_v whole_o upon_o nature_n without_o that_o that_o nature_n can_v in_o any_o part_n work_n upon_o it_o so_o in_o the_o mind_n whatsoever_o knowledge_n

heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v but_o my_o word_n shall_v not_o pass_v be_v to_o seek_v temporary_a thing_n among_o eternal_a and_o as_o to_o seek_v divinity_n in_o philosophy_n be_v to_o seek_v the_o live_n among_o the_o dead_a so_o to_o seek_v philosophy_n in_o divinity_n be_v to_o seek_v the_o dead_a among_o the_o live_n neither_o be_v the_o pot_n or_o laver_v who_o place_n be_v in_o the_o
