the_o light_n life_n and_o truth_n we_o be_v come_v to_o a_o principle_n which_o differ_v from_o other_o people_n and_o as_o we_o be_v regenerate_v and_o bear_v again_o of_o incorruptible_a seed_n we_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n as_o other_o people_n be_v nor_o as_o we_o ourselves_o sometime_o have_v be_v when_o we_o live_v in_o the_o vanity_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o as_o our_o
