when_o he_o mar_v he_o he_o mar_v he_o likewise_o for_o man_n service_n the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v resolve_v be_v whether_o this_o curse_n be_v pronounce_v only_o upon_o one_o individual_a

since_o the_o fall_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o it_o be_v only_o one_o kind_n of_o serpent_n which_o bear_v this_o special_a malediction_n and_o that_o such_o a_o kind_a as_o be_v not_o only_o
