those_o five_o righteous_a whither_o it_o be_v because_o abraham_n do_v judge_v in_o himself_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o subscribe_v to_o the_o decree_n and_o sentence_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n

god_n decree_n and_o ordinance_n and_o that_o thereupon_o god_n shall_v have_v be_v fain_o to_o have_v refuse_v he_o and_o reject_v his_o prayer_n for_o often_o in_o the_o scripture_n god_n forbid_v his_o servant_n to_o make_v intercession_n for_o such_o and_o such_o when_o he_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o pardon_v they_o he_o forbid_v samuel_n to_o pray_v for_o saul_n and_o jeremie_n to_o make_v
