in_o one_o case_n it_o be_v good_a in_o both_o but_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n it_o be_v good_a in_o neither_o and_o that_o the_o better_a way_n of_o argue_v from_o those_o miscarriage_n be_v thus_o

they_o judge_v the_o matter_n of_o it_o unlawful_a 2._o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n no_o man_n can_v join_v with_o another_o in_o prayer_n safe_o unless_o he_o know_v aforehand_o what_o be_v
