fire-spirit_n which_o also_o go_v forward_o after_o the_o wonder_n in_o the_o will_n of_o the_o seek_n of_o the_o essence_n as_o of_o the_o star_n and_o therefore_o it_o make_v a_o whirl_a about_o

now_o see_v aright_o with_o good_a clear_a eye_n god_n create_v in_o six_o day_n this_o world_n with_o all_o substance_n or_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v finish_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o six_o
