ground_n do_v apprehend_v that_o god_n have_v be_v fight_v against_o they_o and_o they_o fight_v against_o god_n 3._o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v because_o the_o lord_n prepare_v matter_n reason_n for_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o glory_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o himself_o not_o only_o from_o the_o great_a bundle_n and_o sheaf_n of_o his_o work_n but_o from_o the_o small_a scatter_a ear_n of_o his_o
