erasmus_n also_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o parable_n whereby_o rich_a man_n may_v learn_v to_o be_v merciful_a to_o their_o poor_a brethren_n that_o they_o may_v speak_v for_o they_o in_o the_o

neither_o shall_v they_o see_v nor_o know_v what_o be_v do_v there_o and_o again_o abraham_n throat_n be_v dry_a and_o cleave_v to_o the_o roof_n of_o his_o mouth_n therefore_o he_o can_v speak_v so_o
