the_o second_o i_o evident_o prove_v thus_o if_o water_n and_o spirit_n be_v the_o only_a operative_a to_o regeneration_n and_o regeneration_n the_o alone_a way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n then_o can_v no_o man_n inherit_v god_n kingdom_n that_o be_v not_o regenerate_v neither_o can_v any_o man_n be_v regenerate_v that_o be_v not_o wash_v by_o the_o water_n of_o life_n beget_v work_v
