be_v ready_o grant_v that_o man_n do_v lose_v their_o soul_n but_o now_o how_o do_v god_n lose_v it_o the_o soul_n be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n 4._o man_n because_o it_o be_v of_o themselves_o god_n because_o it_o be_v his_o creature_n god_n have_v make_v we_o this_o soul_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o all_o soul_n be_v he_o now_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o only_o stand_v

according_a to_o that_o 29._o of_o abigail_n to_o david_n the_o soul_n of_o my_o lord_n say_v she_o shall_v be_v bind_v in_o the_o bundle_n of_o life_n with_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o the_o

and_o deliver_v they_o up_o to_o the_o due_a reward_n of_o their_o deed_n he_o shall_v shut_v they_o out_o of_o his_o heaven_n and_o deliver_v they_o up_o to_o their_o hell_n he_o shall_v deny_v
