soul_n that_o want_v what_o she_o so_o vehement_o desire_v and_o that_o she_o be_v sure_a she_o shall_v never_o attain_v to_o enjoy_v how_o great_a this_o sorrow_n and_o anguish_n be_v we_o can_v

that_o the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o mind_n reside_v only_o there_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o since_o only_o the_o soul_n be_v susceptible_a of_o torment_n a_o separate_a soul_n must_v necessary_o be_v
