in_o this_o point_n for_o they_o make_v these_o 42_o month_n to_o last_o unto_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n so_o that_o by_o this_o reckon_n the_o church_n will_v be_v in_o a_o sad_a and_o

calculate_v the_o day_n when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n which_o no_o modest_a man_n will_v adventure_v once_o to_o do_v see_v
