they_o may_v apprehend_v it_o to_o be_v a_o state_n of_o bliss_n and_o happiness_n a_o man_n that_o be_v under_o the_o common_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n may_v apprehend_v heaven_n to_o be_v a_o

such_o like_a general_a apprehension_n of_o heaven_n be_v all_o i_o conceive_v that_o a_o man_n under_o a_o common_a work_n do_v usual_o attain_v unto_o now_o if_o a_o man_n that_o have_v but_o a_o

of_o the_o other_o world_n be_v set_v before_o it_o now_o god_n do_v sometime_o let_v down_o a_o corner_n of_o heaven_n as_o it_o be_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o people_n and_o give_v they_o in_o
