it_o to_o their_o undoubted_a prince_n certain_o if_o god_n be_v so_o much_o incense_v against_o esau_n for_o sell_v his_o birth_n right_a to_o his_o brother_n jacob_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o

or_o both_o together_o be_v because_o whatsoever_o be_v suspect_v to_o tend_v to_o the_o subversion_n of_o the_o government_n or_o of_o the_o true_a religion_n here_o establish_v by_o law_n be_v
