as_o cestius_n gallus_n his_o show_v the_o roman_a army_n be_v to_o jerusalem_n the_o jew_n do_v not_o any_o more_o fear_n that_o enemy_n because_o they_o have_v strength_n enough_o once_o to_o

when_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_o for_o we_o upon_o the_o discovery_n to_o correct_v they_o in_o sum_n we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o such_o extraordinary_a providence_n as_o have_v of_o late_o
