o_o how_o well_o be_v scripture_n like_v and_o how_o swift_o be_v the_o worship_n carry_v on_o when_o it_o suit_n with_o sense_n and_o reason_n but_o o_o how_o harsh_a be_v scripture_n and_o the_o

that_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o profession_n of_o such_o thing_n will_v be_v find_v a_o hundred_o time_n more_o hard_a work_n then_o to_o be_v bring_v into_o brother_n hood_n or_o
