savour_n christ_n need_v not_o to_o have_v ascend_v to_o send_v man_n without_o gift_n he_o send_v no_o messenger_n without_o a_o message_n no_o steward_n without_o his_o provision_n no_o captain_n without_o weapon_n no_o watchman_n without_o eye_n this_o be_v a_o folly_n which_o the_o wisdom_n and_o weakness_n of_o man_n can_v brook_v but_o he_o send_v a_o interpreter_n the_o learned_a tongue_n
