though_o my_o answer_n be_v sound_a yet_o not_o very_o acceptable_a for_o it_o be_v in_o scripture_n term_n it_o be_v true_a i_o be_o utter_o against_o it_o that_o scripture_n shall_v bow_v to_o

that_o by_o the_o footstep_n of_o the_o flock_n according_a to_o there_o own_o adiuce_a and_o can_v set_v down_o or_o turn_v back_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v observe_v of_o the_o
