all_o come_v to_o repentance_n that_o so_o they_o may_v prevent_v his_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o he_o never_o strike_v but_o first_o he_o warn_v the_o other_o reason_n be_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o wicked_a namely_o that_o the_o wicked_a may_v be_v without_o excuse_n their_o mouth_n may_v be_v stop_v and_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n clear_v they_o have_v nothing_o to_o answer_v for_o
