where_o do_v we_o find_v such_o thing_n speak_v to_o the_o people_n now_o then_o where_o the_o great_a blame_n lie_v for_o unworthy_a man_n come_v into_o the_o ministry_n there_o sure_o must_v lie_v the_o great_a power_n of_o admit_v man_n into_o the_o ministry_n else_o the_o blame_n be_v not_o just_a but_o we_o see_v the_o blame_n be_v here_o lay_v upon_o the_o minister_n paul_n no_o where_o

say_v we_o do_v but_o ordain_v we_o give_v but_o a_o adjunct_n the_o people_n do_v the_o main_a act_n they_o give_v the_o essence_n the_o essence_n be_v give_v we_o give_v the_o adjunct_n so_o that_o
