and_o that_o in_o that_o sense_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o not_o as_o if_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o against_o all_o act_n of_o uncleanness_n and_o have_v not_o as_o much_o mind_n to_o

and_o unlawful_a yet_o this_o simple_a fornication_n or_o the_o carnal_a copulation_n of_o two_o single_a person_n be_v not_o look_v upon_o by_o they_o as_o unlawful_a or_o any_o sin_n and_o even_o
