why_o god_n command_v they_o to_o sacrifice_v flesh_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o my_o offering_n here_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o accusation_n not_o that_o they_o sacrifice_v but_o that_o they_o

and_o that_o they_o can_v take_v content_a in_o thus_o i_o find_v interpreter_n carry_v it_o and_o i_o very_o think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o from_o

although_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v pretend_v yet_o self-respect_n they_o be_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v most_o upon_o fast_n as_o for_o instance_n in_o keep_v of_o festival_n they_o like_v

you_o have_v this_o exhortation_n even_o in_o termiminis_fw-la that_o they_o must_v plough_v up_o the_o fallow-ground_n of_o their_o heart_n only_o express_v a_o little_a further_o they_o must_v not_o

you_o sow_v among_o thorn_n you_o do_v not_o plough_v up_o the_o ground_n you_o be_v not_o humble_v the_o root_n of_o your_o sin_n be_v not_o get_v out_o of_o you_o and_o therefore_o though_o there_o

there_o be_v that_o do_v blow_n and_o not_o sow_n that_o be_v they_o it_o may_v be_v be_v trouble_v for_o their_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v much_o humble_v for_o their_o sin_n but_o they_o do_v not_o
