you_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o pharisee_n be_v this_o that_o they_o love_v action_n of_o devotion_n to_o god_n better_a than_o action_n of_o mercy_n and_o equity_n to_o man_n that_o you_o may_v

and_o therefore_o three_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o of_o all_o action_n of_o piety_n they_o choose_v those_o that_o be_v most_o outward_a and_o do_v with_o least_o trouble_n as_o to_o pray_v they_o
