god_n may_v not_o be_v condemn_v for_o create_v they_o for_o he_o may_v do_v with_o his_o own_o as_o please_v he_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o may_v further_o say_v as_o some_o do_v that_o if_o man_n

goodly_a argument_n be_v easy_o answer_v by_o say_v he_o can_v and_o will_v not_o and_o yet_o not_o enuiouse_a therein_o but_o good_a and_o careful_a for_o man_n that_o he_o may_v by_o sight_n of_o
