be_v a_o inward_a and_o outward_a call_n the_o inward_a be_v a_o special_a excitation_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o such_o a_o call_n be_v warrantable_a to_o be_v active_a i_o be_o sure_a

when_o the_o people_n be_v gather_v 1._o together_o as_o one_o man_n they_o speak_v to_o ezra_n the_o scribe_n to_o bring_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n here_o the_o people_n put_v one_o
