1._o as_o a_o great_a loss_n and_o fearful_a prognostication_n of_o evil_a for_o conclusion_n see_v god_n servant_n be_v so_o conclusion_n powerful_a with_o god_n and_o that_o only_a by_o prayer_n

will_v not_o hear_v he_o will_v not_o grant_v his_o desire_n he_o shall_v but_o sin_n against_o god_n himself_o and_o do_v the_o people_n no_o good_a god_n be_v now_o unchangeable_o resolve_v judah_n

the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v common_o conditional_a as_o god_n himself_o have_v prevention_n say_v at_o what_o time_n i_o shall_v speak_v concern_v a_o nation_n and_o concern_v a_o kingdom_n to_o
