comprehensive_a divine_a to_o marshal_v they_o he_o do_v methinks_v appear_v to_o i_o so_o lank_a as_o i_o can_v tell_v well_o whether_o that_o which_o he_o say_v be_v solid_a or_o no_o because_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v not_o full_a though_o when_o he_o fall_v upon_o several_a particular_a thing_n he_o seem_v to_o look_v through_o they_o well_o by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o
