with_o foreign_a nation_n they_o have_v remit_v much_o of_o their_o ancient_a custom_n and_o quite_v many_o thing_n which_o they_o practise_v before_o with_o a_o inviolable_a strictness_n so_o that_o there_o may_v be_v see_v in_o they_o now_o a_o remarkable_a change_n from_o what_o they_o be_v heretofore_o that_o the_o case_n stand_v thus_o with_o they_o now_o be_v to_o be_v attribute_v partly_o
