that_o be_v the_o song_n of_o the_o lamb._n now_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n may_v be_v call_v the_o old_a song_n or_o the_o first_o song_n because_o moses_n the_o prophet_n and_o elder_n of_o israel_n

which_o cause_v this_o song_n of_o moses_n to_o be_v sing_v by_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o in_o this_o regard_n the_o song_n of_o moses_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v old_a or_o the_o first_o

the_o song_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v more_o new_a for_o redemption_n be_v after_o creation_n therefore_o call_v a_o new_a song_n it_o be_v call_v a_o new_a song_n in_o relation_n to_o a_o new_a

not_o so_o if_o he_o that_o hear_v they_o must_v not_o write_v what_o they_o utter_v how_o shall_v i_o that_o never_o hear_v they_o so_o that_o i_o shall_v pass_v by_o the_o ten_o eleven_o and_o
