therefore_o the_o bride_n tell_v they_o here_o they_o sin_n against_o the_o gospel_n and_o she_o deal_v very_o plain_o you_o never_o see_v he_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v the_o gospel_n breed_v in_o

therefore_o she_o tell_v they_o this_o you_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n you_o never_o see_v he_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v so_o that_o although_o these_o watchman_n of_o satan_n be_v high_a and_o lofty_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o have_v more_o than_o heart_n can_v wish_v do_v lord_n it_o outward_o over_o the_o bride_n yet_o in_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o god_n she_o declare_v their_o

their_o smiting_n with_o the_o tongue_n in_o respect_n of_o her_o name_n and_o reputation_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o last_o temptation_n in_o her_o sad_a condition_n which_o fall_v upon_o she_o immediate_o before_o deliverance_n come_v for_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a time_n after_o she_o pass_v from_o they_o but_o she_o find_v he_o who_o her_o soul_n love_v she_o be_v not_o dismay_v at_o
