the_o grace_n god_n be_v please_v to_o vouchsafe_v to_o they_o in_o common_a with_o other_o man_n but_o be_v for_o a_o special_a grace_n peculiar_a to_o themselves_o though_o the_o scripture_n be_v silent_a as_o to_o any_o such_o thing_n they_o agree_v exact_a to_o the_o pattern_n of_o the_o old_a corrupt_a hypocritical_a pharisee_n 19.17_o mat._n 9.11_o luke_n 19.17_o who_o will_v not_o eat_v
