for_o i_o yet_o i_o disclaim_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v do_v as_o none_o of_o my_o worship_n because_o it_o have_v not_o proceed_v from_o inward_a hearty_a devotion_n nor_o be_v attend_v with_o

thus_o the_o whole_a ver_n shall_v be_v resolve_v into_o one_o discretive_a proposition_n to_o this_o effect_n though_o thou_o have_v take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n in_o pretence_n and_o
