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 there_o will_v be_v no_o blame_n leave_v for_o the_o minister_n i_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o see_v some_o answer_n from_o mr._n nichols_n either_o by_o private_a writing_n or_o public_o in_o print_n
