the_o create_a heaven_n be_v never_o create_v as_o we_o may_v well_o think_v because_o we_o can_v name_v any_o create_a substance_n that_o both_o be_v and_o ever_o be_v above_o the_o create_a heaven_n indeed_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a since_o their_o separation_n be_v now_o as_o create_a being_n above_o the_o create_a heaven_n
