it_o be_v the_o argument_n of_o a_o play_n to_o be_v jeer_v at_o on_o a_o stage_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o although_o it_o carry_v a_o general_a applause_n with_o

reiterate_v and_o enlarge_v the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o very_a argument_n the_o occasion_n be_v express_v in_o the_o 41_o verse_n peter_n step_v in_o and_o put_v the_o question_n not_o so_o

that_o will_v befall_v the_o unfaithful_a servant_n and_o he_o propound_v it_o as_o a_o rule_n of_o the_o misery_n the_o misery_n will_v be_v great_a as_o this_o be_v do_v more_o out_o of_o
