therefore_o i_o shall_v fall_v direct_o upon_o the_o word_n which_o run_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o exhortation_n though_o in_o appearance_n a_o very_a strange_a one_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o a_o

for_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v titus_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v despise_v he_o for_o how_o can_v another_o man_n action_n be_v his_o duty_n be_v it_o in_o his_o power_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v wicked_a and_o injurious_a and_o if_o such_o person_n will_v despise_v he_o can_v any_o thing_n pass_v a_o obligation_n upon_o he_o not_o to_o be_v despise_v no_o this_o can_v be_v the_o
