to_o say_v a_o translation_n from_o a_o common_a use_n to_o a_o holy_a worship_n of_o god_n but_o against_o this_o interpretation_n there_o be_v certain_a stop_n for_o the_o evangelist_n do_v use_v

that_o these_o do_v differ_v within_o themselves_o it_o may_v special_o appear_v by_o this_o that_o to_o bless_v be_v always_o take_v transitive_o but_o to_o give_v thanks_n always_o intransitive_o moreover_o also_o that_o same_o common_a sanctification_n to_o wit_n whereby_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o may_v lawful_o use_v meat_n be_v manifest_o distinguish_v from_o thanks_o
