fall_v by_o thy_o iniquity_n the_o word_n be_v a_o exhortation_n or_o a_o vehement_a persuasion_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v use_v by_o the_o prophet_n to_o return_v to_o god_n the_o

5._o and_o last_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o this_o their_o return_n lay_v down_o in_o close_n of_o the_o word_n for_o thou_o have_v fall_v by_o thy_o iniquity_n from_o the_o word_n you_o may_v plain_o gather_v several_a point_n or_o observation_n to_o wit_n 1._o that_o the_o best_a and_o choice_a of_o god_n child_n may_v decline_v and_o grievous_o fall_v from_o god_n as_o israel_n

aught_o to_o be_v the_o main_a scope_n and_o aim_n of_o the_o ambassador_n and_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o dissuade_v from_o sin_n and_o persuade_v to_o repentance_n o_o israel_n return_v unto_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n for_o thou_o have_v fall_v by_o thy_o iniquity_n first_o of_o the_o first_o in_o order_n that_o the_o best_a and_o choice_a of_o god_n saint_n and_o people_n may_v
