of_o their_o nature_n those_o beam_n must_v of_o necessity_n work_v antipathetical_o with_o one_o another_o and_o the_o strong_a must_v prevail_v no_o otherwise_o than_o the_o two_o star_n of_o

this_o business_n the_o evident_a cause_n of_o sympathy_n and_o antipathy_n of_o thing_n proceed_v from_o the_o radical_a mystery_n of_o the_o opposite_a attribute_n or_o property_n in_o god_n which_o

a_o new_a antipathy_n and_o hatred_n thereby_o to_o destroy_v the_o fruit_n of_o love_n so_o that_o the_o spirit_n which_o light_n have_v redeem_v out_o of_o the_o dark_a chaos_n be_v the_o
