there_o must_v be_v thirteen_o month_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o month_n intercalar_a call_v by_o the_o late_a jew_n veader_n or_o another_o adar_n but_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o

which_o of_o they_o be_v mean_v answ_n and_o why_o so_o it_o need_v not_o answ_n unless_o there_o have_v be_v two_o adar_n in_o every_o year_n it_o be_v only_o the_o embolismall_a year_n which_o

yet_o that_o the_o prophet_n may_v not_o tell_v the_o people_n a_o vain_a vision_n nor_o deliver_v unto_o they_o a_o unwarrantable_a prophecy_n he_o must_v upon_o necessity_n lie_v hide_v and_o be_v
