3d_o they_o call_v a_o lazy_a amen_o when_o they_o pronounce_v amen_o at_o length_n as_o if_o they_o mere_a yawn_a or_o gape_v and_o ready_a to_o fall_v a_o sleep_n and_o so_o divide_v the_o word_n

lxxvii_o that_o all_o hear_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n with_o like_o attention_n and_o reverence_n and_o desire_v to_o profit_v thereby_o to_o show_v this_o the_o jewish_a rabbin_n have_v observe_v among_o their_o hearer_n 57_o that_o there_o be_v always_o some_o which_o be_v like_o sponge_n that_o suck_v and_o draw_v in_o any_o liquid_a thing_n they_o meet_v with_o whether_o it_o be_v
