in_o which_o these_o expression_n be_v utter_v sure_o i_o be_o that_o my_o whole_a congregation_n will_v on_o the_o first_o view_n of_o they_o say_v mr._n crofton_n never_o utter_v such_o word_n in_o

those_o who_o pen_v that_o day_n sermon_n can_v find_v nothing_o like_o this_o charge_n though_o my_o accuser_n charge_v with_o confidence_n and_o without_o their_o wont_a salvo_n or_o word_n to_o
