which_o shall_v he_o on_o their_o deathbed_n three_o thing_n do_v give_v i_o hope_v one_o be_v that_o all_o heart_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n to_o call_v they_o at_o what_o hour_n he_o

so_o understanding_n may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o wicked_a but_o it_o be_v like_a ignorance_n than_o knowledge_n therefore_o paul_n make_v knowledge_n one_o of_o the_o fruit_n which_o bud_n out_o of_o
