we_o can_v do_v it_o cost_v more_o to_o redeem_v our_o soul_n we_o must_v let_v that_o alone_a for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o liturgy_n our_o sacrifice_n be_v set_v to_o no_o high_a key_n 49._o than_o we_o praise_v thou_o o_o god_n etc._n etc._n four_o in_o every_o sacrifice_n there_o must_v be_v something_o offer_v and_o that_o in_o the_o text_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o lip_n
