will_v not_o learn_v to_o be_v wise_a unto_o sobriety_n but_o still_o they_o seem_v never_o to_o pray_v with_o more_o spirit_n such_o as_o it_o be_v than_o when_o they_o pray_v against_o their_o

their_o voice_n in_o his_o holy_a temple_n sing_v aloud_o and_o praise_v god_n make_v also_o melody_n in_o their_o heart_n so_o keep_v time_n on_o earth_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n that_o
