sure_o they_o then_o observe_v it_o with_o more_o modesty_n and_o respect_n than_o they_o do_v at_o present_a indeed_o i_o know_v no_o function_n the_o papist_n have_v throughout_o the_o whole_a

have_v no_o conformity_n at_o all_o with_o the_o supper_n and_o beside_o the_o people_n do_v not_o communicate_v whilst_o the_o mass_n be_v celebrate_v but_o after_o the_o mass_n be_v end_v and_o then_o the_o priest_n without_o make_v any_o prayer_n and_o without_o declare_v what_o he_o be_v about_o to_o do_v go_v and_o put_v into_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o those_o that_o present_v
