all_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o land_n but_o a_o share_n in_o all_o the_o peace-offering_n and_o free-will-offering_n of_o the_o people_n in_o their_o redemption_n of_o several_a thing_n sacred_a to_o

they_o be_v not_o only_a priest_n but_o almoner_n to_o the_o other_o tribe_n and_o their_o house_n be_v as_o hospital_n to_o the_o poor_a let_v we_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n advise_v we_o be_v

poor_a brethren_n that_o be_v in_o distress_n i_o shall_v now_o conclude_v with_o this_o earnest_a prayer_n that_o you_o may_v never_o want_v clergy_n learned_a person_n and_o orthodox_n and_o
