be_v ceremonial_a but_o the_o use_n of_o instrumental_a music_n in_o general_a in_o the_o public_a praise_v of_o god_n be_v and_o be_v moral_a or_o natural_a not_o indeed_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n

why_o it_o be_v establish_v in_o that_o church_n because_o it_o be_v a_o fit_a schoolmaster_n for_o that_o people_n and_o be_v there_o not_o and_o always_o will_v be_v among_o christian_n some_o
