pithy_a sentence_n all_o tend_v to_o exalt_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n i_o know_v not_o in_o this_o all_o interpreter_n agree_v that_o for_o this_o three_o and_o last_o reason_n they_o all_o deserve_v to_o be_v call_v song_n of_o degree_n and_o therefore_o any_o sentence_n of_o they_o will_v deserve_v and_o call_v for_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o our_o reverend_a attention_n to_o the_o unfold_n
