and_o so_o strange_o mistake_v the_o remedy_n for_o the_o disease_n i_o confess_v how_o much_o soever_o our_o ear_n may_v itch_v after_o novelty_n and_o variety_n yet_o he_o can_v not_o reasonable_o

shall_v conclude_v what_o relate_v to_o our_o practice_n with_o the_o conclude_a word_n of_o this_o chapter_n of_o the_o bp_n but_o as_o aaron_n to_o please_v the_o israelite_n make_v the_o golden_a
