when_o we_o have_v offend_v in_o that_o we_o have_v offend_v god_n even_o as_o the_o prodigal_a child_n who_o say_v father_n i_o have_v sin_v against_o heaven_n and_o before_o thou_o which_o the_o

that_o all_o the_o cogitation_n of_o man_n heart_n be_v bend_v to_o evil_a at_o all_o time_n great_a be_v the_o malice_n of_o man_n heart_n in_o those_o time_n near_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o
