punishment_n which_o be_v then_o do_v when_o they_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o it_o therefore_o they_o be_v iterate_v year_n by_o year_n continual_o for_o a_o long_a succession_n of_o many_o age_n that_o year_n by_o year_n they_o may_v heal_v the_o sore_a of_o the_o conscience_n which_o break_v out_o again_o year_n by_o year_n for_o where_o health_n be_v full_o recover_v and_o settle_v the_o
