print_v in_o their_o rubrike_n into_o doubt_n thus_o do_v this_o pope_n dash_n the_o devotion_n of_o papist_n therefore_o let_v old_a papist_n look_v well_o what_o primer_n they_o use_v and_o take_v

you_o may_v once_o again_o mark_v a_o jar_n that_o fowler_n in_o his_o psalter_n make_v not_o only_a with_o david_n his_o psalter_n but_o even_o with_o himself_o also_o we_o know_v that_o jesus_n
