to_o find_v out_o babylon_n do_v you_o never_o hear_v of_o a_o english_a babylon_n in_o ireland_n and_o a_o irish_a babylon_n in_o england_n and_o a_o romish_a babylon_n even_o in_o scotland_n be_v

and_o show_v you_o what_o reason_n this_o zion_n have_v to_o deliver_v herself_o from_o the_o assyrian_a babylon_n 1._o the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n have_v so_o often_o call_v reason_n

three_o the_o governor_n and_o people_n be_v quicken_v to_o this_o great_a duty_n of_o forsake_v babylon_n and_o building_n zion_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o prophet_n haggai_n and_o about_o
