agree_v to_o since_o in_o the_o very_a school_n it_o be_v a_o common_a doctrine_n that_o creation_n be_v a_o work_n so_o proper_a to_o god_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o all_o other_o power_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o create_v so_o much_o as_o one_o grain_n of_o sand_n only_o and_o that_o neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v obtain_v of_o god_n that_o authority_n judge_n my_o
