this_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o not_o simple_o because_o he_o do_v dislike_v the_o thing_n themselves_o but_o for_o that_o their_o work_n be_v evil_a who_o offer_v these_o thing_n and_o they_o do_v

as_o this_o present_a text_n of_o we_o they_o require_v it_o in_o one_o part_n of_o the_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o in_o another_o and_o not_o general_o but_o particular_o neither_o in_o one_o
