to_o the_o end_n we_o give_v no_o just_a cause_n to_o our_o adversary_n to_o calumniate_v but_o this_o new_a find_v way_n of_o honour_v the_o clergy_n with_o stipendarie_n contribution_n be_v

who_o if_o minister_n chance_v to_o displease_v they_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v but_o slow_a payment_n and_o perhaps_o none_o at_o all_o and_o if_o their_o pension_n come_v from_o the_o public_a
