saul_n who_o have_v disobey_v god_n and_o yet_o have_v offer_v a_o holocaust_n of_o the_o first_o of_o the_o prey_v which_o he_o have_v bring_v from_o amalec_n why_o will_v our_o lord_n have_v

the_o devout_a christian_a his_o altar_n be_v his_o soul_n or_o heart_n his_o sacrifice_n be_v his_o prayer_n the_o fire_n which_o burn_v this_o sacrifice_n be_v charity_n out_o of_o which_o prayer_n

the_o only_a external_a sacrifice_n without_o the_o internal_a of_o the_o mind_n do_v please_v and_o pacify_v god_n and_o such_o sacrifice_n god_n reject_v as_o not_o please_v 29._o isa_n 29._o so_o
