speak_v it_o which_o be_v disputable_a yet_o i_o may_v say_v now_o as_o he_o say_v then_o here_z man_n that_o die_v receive_v tithe_n yea_o such_o as_o be_v dead_a while_o they_o live_v and_o not_o only_o receive_v tithe_n but_o persecute_v imprison_v and_o in_o a_o manner_n rob_v for_o tithe_n such_o as_o do_v not_o give_v contrary_a to_o law_n or_o custom_n but_o i_o allow_v not_o such_o i_o
