to_o keep_v they_o from_o the_o horse_n and_o to_o be_v secure_v from_o musket-shot_a the_o use_n of_o mean_n be_v not_o hurtful_a nor_o offend_v god_n when_o it_o tend_v to_o good_a but_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v hurtful_a when_o we_o use_v it_o against_o god_n command_n or_o when_o we_o put_v too_o much_o carnal_a confidence_n therein_o as_o the_o israelite_n do_v in_o
