all_o thing_n be_v do_v honest_o and_o by_o order_n second_o if_o by_o command_v they_o understand_v a_o particular_a command_n then_o i_o grant_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o command_v but_o neither_o be_v their_o own_o rite_n they_o so_o much_o desire_v any_o where_o thus_o command_v a_o white_a surplice_n i_o confess_v be_v no_o where_o command_v neither_o be_v a_o black_a gown_n
