poor_a evasion_n contemptible_a in_o themselves_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a the_o bp._n will_v come_v under_o this_o censure_n and_o that_o this_o unusual_a way_n of_o deal_n with_o a_o

he_o that_o love_v the_o light_n bring_v his_o deed_n to_o the_o light_n to_o see_v if_o they_o be_v wrought_v in_o god_n whereas_o the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o the_o text_n be_v no_o more_o than_o
