or_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o that_o it_o be_v utter_o abolish_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n 3._o so_o i_o shall_v now_o prove_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v appoint_v

shall_v not_o be_v give_v forth_o by_o himself_o but_o that_o moses_n shall_v have_v that_o honour_n ascribe_v to_o he_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v commemorate_v the_o glorious_a work_n of_o the_o
