body_n which_o be_v not_o perform_v before_o the_o body_n rise_v to_o glory_n you_o turn_v it_o as_o if_o i_o profess_v our_o redemption_n from_o hell_n to_o be_v imperfect_a till_o the_o last_o day_n

you_o run_v on_o like_o a_o riotous_a spaniel_n chaleng_v upon_o every_o foot_n but_o find_v nothing_o with_o like_a wit_n and_o truth_n you_o infer_v upon_o my_o word_n where_o i_o say_v the_o
