to_o be_v minister_v unto_o but_o to_o minister_v and_o to_o correct_v the_o insolent_a pride_n and_o ambition_n of_o his_o follower_n how_o do_v he_o stoop_v to_o wash_v his_o disciple_n foot_n a_o

since_o in_o all_o his_o action_n he_o do_v manifest_a that_o he_o be_v meek_a and_o lowly_a how_o prodigious_o incongruous_a be_v it_o for_o those_o who_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v his_o
