when_o they_o object_v certain_a light_a fault_n of_o the_o vulgar_a edition_n which_o have_v creep_v into_o it_o either_o by_o the_o negligence_n of_o the_o printer_n or_o by_o any_o other_o

prove_v that_o certain_a place_n of_o the_o vulgar_a edition_n be_v somewhat_o otherwise_o in_o the_o hebrew_n and_o greek_a so_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o whole_a period_n be_v one_o and_o
