because_o as_o the_o thing_n be_v great_a so_o they_o require_v a_o suitable_a carriage_n not_o a_o common_a carriage_n we_o profane_v the_o sacrament_n if_o we_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n

we_o go_v about_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n and_o then_o to_o let_v the_o reins_n lose_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o vanity_n the_o very_a heathen_n will_v
