exhort_v be_v the_o captive_a jew_n describe_v in_o the_o two_o first_o word_n disobedient_a child_n the_o person_n exhort_v be_v also_o double_a the_o lord_n by_o jeremy_n and_o jeremy_n in_o the_o

when_o christ_n shall_v come_v home_o to_o her_o conscience_n then_o will_v the_o ten_o tribe_n return_v if_o ever_o they_o will_v return_v when_o jeremy_n shall_v summon_v they_o before_o god_n

they_o shall_v prove_v to_o their_o conscience_n that_o of_o this_o and_o that_o sin_n they_o be_v guilty_a second_o from_o this_o wisdom_n of_o god_n we_o learn_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o
