call_v a_o spider_n web_n because_o he_o fetch_v and_o frame_v it_o as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o his_o own_o bowel_n that_o whereunto_o he_o trust_v be_v wrought_v out_o of_o himself_o that_o be_v the_o

will_v be_v a_o spider_n web_n the_o believer_n be_v well_o compare_v to_o a_o bee_n the_o bee_n have_v a_o house_n and_o honey_n but_o the_o bee_n fetch_v all_o from_o abroad_o from_o herb_n and_o
