how_o so_o first_o because_o the_o irish_a nation_n at_o that_o time_n be_v most_o tenacious_o addict_v to_o the_o error_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o therefore_o must_v

must_v be_v think_v to_o be_v do_v to_o gratify_v the_o puritan_n may_v not_o the_o puritan_n also_o say_v that_o what_o ever_o be_v do_v please_v to_o the_o doctor_n be_v do_v in_o compliance_n
