duty_n be_v require_v in_o we_o at_o this_o feast_n but_o if_o our_o heart_n go_v along_o with_o it_o it_o put_v in_o act_n and_o make_v a_o place_n for_o it_o it_o exercise_v our_o humble_a sense_n

it_o than_o to_o our_o worthiness_n in_o all_o other_o act_n of_o religion_n 3_o lie_v that_o however_o they_o may_v be_v commend_v yet_o be_v they_o not_o necessary_o require_v as_o some_o have_v
