appear_v in_o rest_n and_o glory_n these_o great_a zelotes_n be_v most_o eminent_a favourite_n it_o chalk_v out_o to_o the_o apostle_n the_o way_n of_o get_v high_a into_o heaven_n those_o who_o labour_n and_o toil_n in_o his_o work_n burn_v in_o zeal_n for_o his_o glory_n pledge_v their_o life_n in_o his_o cause_n give_v up_o the_o full_a account_n and_o improvement_n of_o their_o pain_n

to_o be_v moses_n his_o equal_a thou_o be_v his_o disciple_n but_o we_o be_v moses_n disciple_n we_o know_v that_o god_n speak_v unto_o moses_n as_o for_o this_o fellow_n we_o know_v not_o whence_o
