between_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o law_n this_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n some_o refer_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n some_o to_o his_o severity_n and_o justice_n they_z which_o think_v that_o

say_v in_o the_o proverb_n that_o he_o make_v the_o wicked_a man_n for_o the_o evil_a day_n chrisostome_n say_v that_o this_o example_n of_o pharaoh_n may_v very_o well_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o
