and_o amend_v their_o life_n and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n who_o they_o have_v offend_v so_o do_v uncircumcised_a nineveh_n for_o when_o the_o prophet_n jonah_n have_v cry_v in_o their_o city_n and_o

have_v the_o judge_n to_o do_v unto_o every_o man_n as_o every_o man_n think_v to_o do_v unto_o his_o brother_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o his_o word_n in_o deut._n 19.20_o when_o he_o say_v and_o

the_o story_n of_o the_o canaanite_n do_v show_v levi._n 18.24_o etc._n etc._n and_o set_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o order_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o ahab_n that_o trouble_a israel_n 1._o king_n 18.18_o and_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o false_a apostle_n that_o trouble_v the_o galathian_o gal._n 5.10_o as_o also_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o prodigal_a son_n which_o put_v he_o beside_o

that_o god_n do_v leave_v israel_n for_o a_o time_n for_o achans_n sin_n but_o after_o he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o the_o same_o he_o do_v help_v they_o again_o and_o give_v they_o a_o notable_a

in_o numb_a 25.4_o when_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o take_v all_o the_o head_n of_o the_o people_n and_o hang_v they_o up_o before_o the_o lord_n against_o the_o sun_n that_o the_o indignation_n of_o

thereby_o we_o may_v see_v that_o see_v malefactor_n must_v be_v punish_v that_o we_o must_v not_o storm_v nor_o chafe_v if_o the_o magistrate_n and_o superior_a power_n inflict_v upon_o we_o
