here_o you_o may_v see_v what_o become_v of_o they_o that_o disobey_v the_o admonishment_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o solomon_n say_v better_a be_v a_o poor_a and_o a_o

do_v not_o make_v use_n of_o their_o power_n and_o authority_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n to_o judge_v jezabel_n spirit_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n now_o be_v not_o to_o suffer_v jezabel_n spirit_n lest_o they_o come_v under_o the_o same_o reproof_n if_o they_o suffer_v that_o jezabel_n spirit_n to_o teach_v now_o as_o then_o and_o here_o you_o may_v see_v how_o that_o christ_n have_v give_v his_o church_n power_n and_o authority_n in_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o admonish_v exhort_v judge_n reprove_v and_o rebuke_v in_o his_o power_n and_o spirit_n g._n f._n
