to_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o the_o best_a food_n for_o his_o confirmation_n 3_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o adam_n do_v not_o first_o sin_n in_o soul_n as_o mr._n norton_n hold_v and_o as_o indeed_o he_o have_v do_v in_o case_n he_o have_v sin_v against_o any_o branch_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o nature_n but_o his_o sin_n be_v only_o against_o
