they_o say_v not_o a_o word_n of_o this_o sin_n of_o turn_v that_o to_o another_o use_n which_o god_n have_v separate_v by_o his_o special_a command_n unto_o his_o own_o no_o though_o there_o be_v the_o fair_a invitation_n and_o sometime_o great_a reason_n to_o do_v it_o n._n c._n i_o believe_v you_o undertake_v more_o than_o you_o can_v do_v c._n thus_o much_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o upon_o
