conclude_v that_o they_o shall_v never_o return_v because_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o he_o will_v love_v they_o no_o more_o but_o his_o god_n will_v cast_v they_o out_o and_o make_v they_o night-wanderer_n among_o the_o nation_n in_o these_o word_n we_o may_v learn_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o the_o prophet_n zeal_n for_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v to_o the_o

cast_v they_o out_o and_o make_v they_o night-wanderer_n among_o the_o nation_n and_o second_o he_o give_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o thus_o speak_v and_o that_o be_v say_v he_o because_o they_o do_v not_o hearken_v unto_o the_o lord_n but_o be_v revolter_n from_o he_o now_o let_v the_o reader_n judge_n whether_o you_o understand_v what_o you_o print_v for_o do_v this_o text_n imply_v that_o israel_n shall_v never_o return_v because_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o he_o will_v love_v they_o no_o more_o but_o admit_v the_o prophet_n speak_v as_o in_o the_o person_n as_o we_o may_v say_v of_o god_n yet_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o will_v love_v they_o no_o more_o be_v because_o of_o their_o sin_n now_o if_o they_o have_v repent_v god_n can_v not_o but_o have_v love_v they_o according_a to_o the_o property_n of_o his_o mercy_n do_v you_o not_o know_v what_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n mercy_n do_v you_o never_o read_v what_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o israel_n
