in_o the_o popish_a temple_n wherein_o the_o chaplain_n say_v their_o mass_n be_v call_v chapel_n the_o other_o reason_n be_v that_o when_o in_o old_a time_n there_o be_v set_v out_o a_o army_n or_o to_o do_v some_o exploit_n by_o soldier_n they_o have_v in_o the_o camp_n certain_a special_a tent_n to_o say_v mass_n in_o which_o tent_n be_v cover_v over_o with_o goat_n skine_n now_o a_o goat_n
