neither_o the_o catholic_n sin_n against_o it_o second_o the_o cause_n why_o catholic_n have_v continue_v and_o do_v continue_v still_o be_v because_o they_o keep_v diligent_o the_o commaundment_n of_o the_o church_n and_o how_o much_o more_o diligent_o one_o do_v observe_v they_o so_o many_o more_o benefit_n he_o shall_v receive_v from_o god_n and_o that_o some_o other_o do_v not_o prosper_v
