god_n they_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v where_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o contrariety_n which_o logician_n call_v contradictoriè_fw-la opposita_fw-la our_o saviour_n also_o very_o diligent_o

that_o make_v haste_n to_o be_v rich_a can_v be_v innocent_a so_o that_o then_o this_o contrariety_n between_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n between_o religion_n and_o the_o world_n be_v such_o as_o they_o
