four_o come_v out_o of_o sodom_n and_o one_o of_o they_o look_v back_o and_o twelve_o follow_v christ_n and_o one_o of_o they_o betray_v he_o and_o how_o many_o have_v the_o enemy_n betray_v in_o our_o day_n some_o in_o one_o thing_n and_o some_o in_o another_o for_o want_v of_o watchfulness_n unto_o the_o truth_n in_o which_o there_o be_v preservation_n for_o all_o that_o love_v it_o and_o
