when_o they_o seek_v to_o put_v the_o apostle_n to_o death_n say_v that_o if_o their_o religion_n be_v of_o man_n the_o remembrance_n thereof_o will_v soon_o perish_v but_o if_o it_o be_v of_o god_n

of_o the_o trespass_n if_o i_o demand_v of_o you_o who_o be_v the_o better_a or_o who_o be_v most_o worthy_a punishment_n the_o thief_n or_o the_o receiver_n you_o will_v answer_v they_o be_v alike_o
