the_o world_n with_o earthquake_n he_o have_v something_o to_o do_v more_o than_o ordinary_a in_o the_o advancement_n of_o it_o else_o his_o so_o great_a use_n of_o they_o in_o his_o word_n will_v

he_o use_v earthquake_n in_o his_o word_n to_o express_v great_a thing_n for_o his_o kingdom_n by_o so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o use_v earthquake_n that_o be_v so_o in_o fact_n to_o and_o in_o
