grace_n be_v enough_o to_o initiate_v any_o man_n and_o to_o make_v he_o a_o right_a and_o a_o sound_a professor_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v of_o that_o profession_n be_v alike_o guilty_a i_o know_v that_o many_o among_o they_o follow_v their_o leader_n as_o those_o two_o hundred_o that_o go_v out_o of_o jerusalem_n with_o absalon_n in_o simplicity_n
