what_o end_n a_o man_n read_v they_o second_o in_o what_o sense_n and_o after_o what_o meaning_n he_o understand_v they_o touch_v the_o first_o as_o the_o scripture_n and_o word_n of_o god_n of_o his_o nature_n be_v holy_a so_o be_v it_o requisite_a no_o man_n to_o resort_v thereunto_o otherwise_o then_o with_o a_o holy_a mind_n nor_o to_o read_v they_o but_o to_o a_o bless_a purpose_n that_o
