by_o who_o the_o offence_n come_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o offence_n come_v and_o infallible_o they_o will_v fall_v out_o but_o yet_o this_o necessity_n of_o the_o

woe_n to_o he_o by_o who_o the_o offence_n come_v to_o make_v way_n for_o what_o follow_v it_o be_v fit_a to_o consider_v what_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o scandal_n or_o offence_n that_o we_o call_v a_o
