hand_n can_v reach_v and_o receive_v a_o gift_n of_o itself_o but_o the_o hand_n can_v cut_v any_o thing_n of_o itself_o without_o a_o knife_n or_o some_o such_o like_a instrument_n even_o so_o

by_o love_n do_v perform_v all_o those_o christian_a duty_n which_o god_n require_v of_o we_o in_o his_o law_n hence_o a_o christian_a man_n be_v not_o unfit_o compare_v to_o a_o conduit_n to_o

and_o then_o the_o soul_n cease_v to_o give_v life_n to_o they_o but_o present_o they_o die_v so_o almighty_a god_n give_v life_n unto_o the_o soul_n of_o every_o man_n but_o not_o unless_o we_o be_v
