which_o all_o man_n i_o hope_v shall_v judge_v to_o be_v very_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v there_o be_v also_o some_o question_n &_o answer_n interlace_v in_o sundry_a place_n but_o chief_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o serve_v great_o to_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n but_o if_o man_n will_v be_v both_o weary_a to_o
