by_o the_o word_n way_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o passage_n of_o a_o man_n spirit_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o a_o man_n life_n and_o conversation_n be_v say_v in_o scripture_n to_o be_v

from_o one_o action_n and_o service_n to_o another_o as_o the_o body_n pass_v from_o place_n to_o place_n so_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n go_v from_o one_o service_n to_o another_o so_o that_o the_o
