in_o it_o than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v much_o more_o a_o profanation_n to_o labour_n &_o work_v about_o sacrifice_n in_o kill_a beast_n dress_v &_o wash_v their_o flesh_n &_o make_v fire_n to_o

the_o second_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o practice_n and_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n for_o as_o the_o priest_n and_o learned_a scribe_n do_v of_o old_a read_v and_o
