happen_v that_o in_o succeed_a time_n one_o of_o the_o prophet_n may_v make_v some_o addition_n to_o moses_n which_o afterward_o be_v incorporate_v with_o all_o the_o copy_n indeed_o if_o it_o do_v not_o otherwise_o evident_o appear_v that_o the_o great_a part_n by_o far_o of_o the_o pentateuch_n be_v write_v by_o moses_n i_o confess_v there_o will_v be_v great_a weight_n in_o the_o
