for_o the_o lamb_n have_v be_v kill_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n b_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v none_o other_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n unto_o man_n whereby_o we_o must_v

they_o do_v love_v he_o perfect_o that_o he_o desire_v of_o they_o a_o thing_n either_o impossible_a or_o else_o too_o hard_a whereunto_o we_o will_v answer_v that_o the_o great_a perfection_n that_o the_o lord_n desire_v to_o love_v he_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o command_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v too_o rigorous_a for_o he_o have_v say_v that_o his_o yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o his_o burden_n
