1.21_o gen._n 1.21_o so_o that_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v place_v before_o which_o may_v be_v do_v after_o and_o some_o thing_n after_o which_o may_v be_v do_v before_o as_o for_o instance_n you_o

what_o judicious_a calvin_n have_v to_o solve_v this_o doubt_n that_o though_o it_o be_v say_v that_o noah_n be_v six_o hundred_o year_n old_a when_o he_o be_v but_o five_o hundred_o and_o eighty_o yet_o because_o he_o be_v go_v in_o the_o six_o hundred_o year_n and_o so_o near_o it_o as_o twenty_o year_n therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v noah_n be_v six_o hundred_o year_n express_v his_o

when_o you_o hear_v i_o handle_v the_o grievousnesse_n of_o this_o judgement_n you_o may_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o most_o sad_a and_o heavy_a one_o and_o yet_o before_o i_o raise_v the_o
