be_v no_o law_n i_o trow_v forbid_v this_o unless_o i_o say_v the_o law_n of_o the_o purse_n and_o if_o thou_o say_v i_o can_v not_o there_o be_v able_a to_o live_v i_o answer_v thou_o first_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o and_o all_o other_o thing_n needful_a shall_v be_v give_v unto_o thou_o as_o overplus_n so_o we_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o can_v
