the_o work_n of_o read_v the_o ordinary_a first_o and_o second_o service_n beside_o incidental_a office_n as_o baptism_n church_n etc._n etc._n make_v it_o very_o expensive_a to_o most_o man_n strength_n and_o spirit_n and_o wearisome_a to_o the_o people_n and_o the_o constant_a necessary_a work_n of_o preach_v and_o catechise_n be_v hardly_o endure_v by_o the_o young_a and_o healthful_a
