god_n have_v not_o make_v a_o duty_n but_o god_n never_o make_v the_o celebration_n of_o the_o nativity_n of_o christ_n a_o duty_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v no_o duty_n though_o this_o argument_n be_v scholastical_o and_o syllogistical_o propound_v yet_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o deny_v the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n for_o although_o it_o
