in_o it_o which_o can_v burn_v the_o subtle_a taste_n therefore_o it_o have_v the_o taste_n external_o and_o the_o taste_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o air_n lock_v up_o in_o it_o my_o child_n know_v what_o i_o say_v before_o that_o a_o thing_n wherein_o be_v much_o burn_a heat_n the_o air_n lock_v up_o the_o taste_n therein_o because_o the_o taste_n shall_v not_o be_v corrupt_v by_o the_o
