and_o people_n and_o nation_n the_o four_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v here_o be_v their_o song_n song_n which_o now_o follow_v it_o be_v call_v a_o new_a song_n not_o as_o some_o divine_n think_v

call_v a_o new_a song_n in_o respect_n 3_o of_o the_o new_a affection_n wherewith_o saint_n praise_v god_n and_o this_o new_a affection_n arise_v of_o new_a sight_n of_o mercy_n which_o be_v
