to_o these_o the_o scripture_n do_v allude_v and_o by_o this_o you_o may_v be_v help_v to_o understand_v divers_a place_n of_o scripture_n illustrate_v in_o isa_n 2._o 19_o and_o they_o shall_v go_v

so_o that_o scripture_n in_o psal_n 11._o 1._o in_o the_o lord_n put_v i_o my_o trust_n how_o say_v you_o to_o my_o soul_n flee_v as_o a_o bird_n to_o your_o mountain_n in_o time_n of_o danger_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o flee_v to_o those_o mountain_n manner_n and_o so_o in_o psal_n 121._o 1._o i_o will_v lift_v up_o my_o eye_n unto_o the_o hill_n from_o whence_o come_v my_o help_n not_o only_o

therefore_o it_o be_v not_o only_o mean_v when_o it_o be_v say_v god_n be_v as_o a_o rock_n not_o only_o because_o the_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n be_v steady_a as_o a_o rock_n but_o because_o they_o
