say_v to_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o practice_v it_o now_o the_o reason_n of_o our_o charity_n be_v various_a either_o as_o the_o ability_n and_o inclination_n of_o the_o giver_n serve_v or_o else_o as_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o indigent_a require_v and_o these_o too_o differ_v according_a to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n and_o place_n as_o these_o shift_n and_o change_v still_o
