in_o the_o day_n of_o ahab_n many_o godly_a in_o israel_n this_o way_n afflict_v god_n himself_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v seven_o thousand_o which_o never_o bow_v knee_n to_o baal_n distress_v

they_o wish_v that_o they_o may_v shake_v off_o those_o occasion_n to_o sin_v but_o the_o infidel_n and_o impudent_a sinner_n little_a regard_n any_o amendment_n which_o think_v it_o not_o enough_o
