tremble_v be_v no_o new_a thing_n among_o god_n people_n but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o state_n that_o all_o god_n people_n pass_v through_o and_o that_o all_o now_o must_v pass_v through_o before_o

his_o word_n of_o power_n to_o be_v sharp_a than_o a_o two-edged_a sword_n to_o divide_v between_o the_o joint_n and_o the_o marrow_n thus_o judgement_n must_v be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o heart_n for_o
