in_o other_o place_n of_o the_o treatise_n i_o think_v it_o needless_a to_o say_v any_o thing_n to_o they_o here_o and_o that_o i_o make_v not_o particular_a reference_n be_v because_o i_o have_v

the_o use_n for_o the_o minister_n to_o sprinkle_v not_o as_o mr._n d._n render_v it_o to_o cast_v a_o few_o drop_n only_o on_o the_o body_n or_o head_n be_v former_o in_o be_v first_o because_o he_o
