the_o case_n stand_v with_o they_o whether_o he_o have_v reason_n to_o do_v or_o not_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v so_o that_o manifest_a it_o be_v that_o the_o bishop_n do_v not_o hold_v their_o

to_o take_v away_o some_o of_o their_o member_n to_o these_o three_o the_o answer_n will_v be_v easy_a i_o know_v not_o how_o easy_a the_o answer_n will_v be_v but_o these_o must_v needs_o be_v hard_a
