seek_v unto_o he_o in_o that_o way_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n when_o god_n remove_v his_o judgement_n before_o we_o remove_v our_o sin_n when_o the_o case_n be_v with_o we_o as_o reverend_a

it_o prove_v not_o our_o case_n there_o be_v cause_n enough_o for_o we_o to_o tremble_v at_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o the_o departure_n of_o calamity_n from_o we_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o
