borrow_v some_o rite_n and_o observance_n of_o they_o as_o their_o light_n their_o cense_a and_o many_o such_o like_a but_o the_o true_a honour_n that_o we_o can_v give_v unto_o the_o saint_n be_v to_o commend_v as_o pattern_n of_o godliness_n and_o religion_n their_o virtue_n to_o other_o and_o ourselves_o to_o imitate_v the_o same_o thus_o howsoever_o they_o please_v themselves_o in_o this_o
