to_o which_o i_o reply_v 1._o that_o if_o you_o will_v have_v this_o argument_n serviceable_a to_o prove_v the_o constant_a use_n of_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n it_o will_v be_v equal_o serviceable_a to_o

be_v there_o not_o as_o much_o reason_n to_o grant_v a_o necessity_n for_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n for_o to_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n be_v
