will_v be_v exciting_a discontent_n and_o if_o not_o suppress_v will_v ferment_n and_o sour_a their_o mind_n till_o it_o break_v out_o into_o open_a disgust_n and_o dishonourable_a and_o unworthy_a

that_o they_o can_v not_o but_o sit_v down_o and_o sigh_v for_o their_o garlic_n and_o onion_n again_o when_o they_o grow_v weary_a of_o their_o deliverance_n 11.5_o exod._n 11.5_o and_o out_o of_o
