moab_n who_o be_v stranger_n nay_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o his_o people_n o_o how_o ought_v christian_n to_o be_v affect_v towards_o jerusalem_n towards_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n great_a reason_n why_o they_o shall_v mourn_v with_o they_o for_o they_o in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n body_n reas_n christian_n member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n
