without_o all_o crime_n that_o good_a man_n refuse_v it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o some_o seem_a blemish_n indeed_o i_o shall_v not_o undertake_v so_o far_o to_o justify_v every_o particular_a phrase_n expression_n and_o passage_n in_o our_o liturgy_n as_o to_o affirm_v it_o incapable_a of_o the_o least_o amendment_n that_o which_o be_v gold_n indeed_o may_v want_v a_o
