horrid_a ingratitude_n hear_v o_o heaven_n and_o give_v ear_n o_o earth_n what_o must_v they_o hear_v why_o what_o god_n have_v to_o say_v against_o this_o people_n the_o lord_n have_v say_v i_o have_v nourish_v and_o bring_v up_o child_n and_o they_o have_v rebel_v against_o i_o for_o any_o of_o we_o parent_n to_o bring_v forth_o and_o breed_v up_o child_n and_o after_o all_o our_o trouble_n cost_n and_o care_n when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o year_n of_o knowledge_n not_o to_o own_v we_o nay_o when_o they_o be_v grow_v to_o be_v man_n to_o turn_v to_o be_v rebel_n to_o violate_v such_o bond_n and_o break_v such_o strong_a tie_n heaven_n and_o earth_n may_v well_o cry_v out_o against_o they_o why_o this_o be_v my_o case_n say_v god_n i_o make_v these_o child_n i_o maintain_v they_o i_o bring_v they_o up_o at_o my_o cost_n and_o yet_o after_o all_o they_o will_v not_o know_v i_o they_o will_v not_o own_o i_n instead_o of_o choose_v i_o they_o turn_v their_o back_n upon_o i_o and_o turn_v rebel_n against_o i_o they_o have_v not_o a_o bit_n of_o bread_n to_o eat_v but_o as_o i_o feed_v they_o nor_o a_o rag_n to_o wear_v but_o as_o i_o clothe_v they_o it_o be_v my_o wool_n and_o my_o flax_n yet_o i_o be_o forget_v and_o the_o very_a law_n of_o nature_n break_v thus_o god_n complain_v of_o their_o base_a ingratitude_n second_o he_o complain_v of_o their_o transcendent_a brutishness_n which_o be_v such_o that_o it_o outdo_v the_o most_o brutish_a among_o brute_n the_o ox_n and_o the_o ass_n be_v reckon_v among_o the_o dull_a and_o most_o stupid_a creature_n yet_o say_v god_n they_o be_v worse_o than_o these_o for_o the_o ox_n know_v his_o owner_n and_o the_o ass_n his_o master_n crib_n but_o israel_n do_v not_o know_v i_o my_o people_n do_v not_o consider_v these_o beast_n as_o stupid_a as_o they_o be_v yet_o they_o after_o their_o kind_a own_v they_o that_o feed_v they_o and_o be_v ready_a at_o all_o time_n to_o submit_v to_o and_o serve_v they_o yet_o say_v god_n they_o will_v not_o own_v i_o nay_o say_v god_n they_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o consider_v what_o i_o have_v do_v for_o they_o that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o own_o
