8._o 14._o when_o the_o lord_n be_v give_v up_o 14._o his_o people_n to_o most_o woeful_a spoil_n the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o they_o after_o this_o manner_n why_o do_v you_o sit_v still_o assemble_v

against_o the_o other_o even_o to_o the_o scorn_n of_o religion_n true_o we_o have_v even_o lose_v ourselves_o our_o foolish_a walk_n have_v take_v off_o the_o awe_n that_o the_o profession_n of_o

that_o it_o lay_v a_o bridle_n upon_o they_o but_o now_o they_o see_v that_o many_o godly_a or_o who_o at_o least_o pretend_v to_o be_v godly_a appear_v so_o selfish_a so_o bitter_a so_o worldly_a not_o only_o to_o be_v of_o differ_a mind_n but_o of_o differ_v affection_n fall_v into_o horrible_a rent_n and_o abominable_a opinion_n this_o i_o say_v have_v take_v off_o the_o awe_n that_o lie_v
