with_o patch_a piece_n and_o break_a sentence_n but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v hear_v ingenious_o to_o speak_v for_o themselves_o for_o as_o we_o do_v recommend_v the_o read_n of_o scripture_n so_o

which_o be_v no_o way_n tie_v or_o entail_v to_o our_o nature_n which_o i_o have_v reserve_v as_o a_o fit_a subject_n to_o be_v treat_v of_o in_o the_o three_o branch_n of_o my_o text_n three_o in_o
