after_o a_o sort_n even_o by_o the_o manifest_a voice_n of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o doubtful_a but_o that_o patient_o he_o undertake_v the_o judgement_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v

this_o can_v be_v refer_v unto_o the_o lot_n for_o this_o knowledge_n be_v common_a unto_o they_o all_o but_o jonas_n here_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n speak_v and_o there_o

they_o will_v repent_v and_o then_o it_o follow_v that_o my_o preach_n shall_v be_v vain_a and_o sure_o god_n will_v not_o be_v contrary_a to_o himself_o but_o will_v show_v forth_o a_o example_n of_o
