occasion_n to_o reprove_v their_o hypocrisy_n their_o outward_a show_n of_o holiness_n 14_o which_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o pharisy_n and_o at_o another_o time_n he_o note_v they_o for_o press_v

so_o mary_n and_o martha_n be_v both_o needful_a in_o a_o commonwealth_n man_n have_v two_o vocation_n the_o one_o earthly_a by_o his_o labour_n the_o other_o heavenly_a by_o his_o prayer_n there_o
