upon_o your_o expound_v the_o building_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o david_n of_o the_o first_o call_v of_o the_o gentile_n certain_o this_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o first_o call_v of_o the_o

general_o to_o this_o agree_v the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n you_o show_v great_a weakness_n in_o it_o for_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v a_o usual_a manner_n of_o speak_v to_o put_v the_o plural_a
