in_o such_o sort_n in_o this_o place_n that_o now_o nothing_o in_o this_o behalf_n ought_v to_o seem_v new_a and_o strange_a unto_o we_o as_o if_o we_o be_v yet_o young_a infant_n and_o babe_n in_o

of_o the_o one_o as_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o other_o as_o for_o the_o contract_n of_o marriage_n therein_o god_n himself_o as_o principal_a author_n so_o deal_v as_o that_o this_o bond_n
