and_o the_o answer_n be_v give_v because_o it_o please_v god_n to_o account_v it_o so_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o death_n of_o his_o saint_n it_o be_v not_o long_o

that_o in_o the_o error_n of_o his_o judgement_n he_o may_v take_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v precious_a and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v so_o when_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n only_o because_o he_o
