of_o fact_n it_o be_v probable_a that_o in_o the_o first_o age_n there_o be_v a_o gift_n of_o pray_v extempore_o by_o immediate_a inspiration_n and_o while_o this_o gift_n continue_v perhaps_o there_o

for_o though_o some_o innovation_n do_v creep_v in_o yet_o every_o one_o of_o that_o public_a nature_n always_o find_v powerful_a adversary_n to_o withstand_v it_o but_o not_o to_o insist_v upon_o
