conceive_v with_o any_o probability_n or_o reason_n second_o that_o these_o fast_n such_o as_o they_o be_v be_v not_o unlawful_a in_o themselves_o that_o i_o prove_v first_o because_o our_o saviour_n where_o he_o purposely_o tax_v their_o vice_n reprove_v they_o for_o their_o purpose_n not_o for_o their_o practice_n of_o fast_v or_o not_o because_o they_o do_v fast_o but_o because_o they_o do_v
