all_o the_o effort_n and_o endeavour_n which_o be_v make_v towards_o they_o the_o jew_n have_v therefore_o very_o good_a reason_n to_o make_v a_o ordinance_n for_o a_o yearly_a mourn_v for_o josiah_n as_o all_o other_o state_n and_o government_n have_v upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n because_o sorrow_n and_o affliction_n for_o the_o untimely_a death_n of_o one_o king_n dispose_v the_o mind_n to_o
