and_o hearty_o desire_v to_o eat_v this_o passah_n with_o you_o afore_o i_o suffer_v for_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o now_o from_o hence_o forth_o i_o will_v not_o eat_v of_o it_o till_o it_o be_v

somewhat_o by_o experience_n whereby_o they_o have_v learned_a humility_n and_o nurture_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o christ_n in_o his_o examination_n require_v of_o those_o which_o must_v guide_v
