the_o just_a have_v obtain_v in_o the_o jewish_a school_n except_o those_o of_o the_o sadducee_n yet_o the_o notion_n of_o it_o be_v vast_o different_a from_o that_o glorious_a resurrection_n which_o

indeed_o the_o learned_a bishop_n pearson_n observe_v that_o it_o strike_v so_o close_o at_o the_o socinian_n notion_n of_o a_o resurrection_n that_o some_o of_o they_o be_v force_v to_o apply_v it_o
