this_o i_o confess_v a_o truth_n indeed_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o i_o suppose_v for_o if_o one_o demand_v a_o reason_n why_o god_n prefix_v a_o memento_n to_o this_o com._n more_o than_o unto_o

to_o leave_v unbaked_a for_o say_v the_o text_n bake_v that_o which_o you_o will_v bake_v and_o see_v that_o which_o you_o will_v seethe_v he_o say_v not_o bake_v all_o &_o see_v all_o but_o bake_v
