for_o this_o first_o though_o less_o study_v or_o accurate_a and_o plain_a in_o its_o language_n three_o motive_n be_v a_o compassionate_a concern_v for_o some_o who_o have_v suffer_v much_o by_o the_o severity_n of_o the_o law_n and_o a_o desire_n to_o prevent_v their_o future_a suffering_n i_o know_v there_o be_v those_o that_o dissent_n from_o this_o worship_n that_o will_v very_o hearty_o
