grant_v it_o may_v not_o be_v too_o late_o first_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o prevent_v the_o incursion_n of_o the_o divine_a judgement_n if_o ever_o we_o mean_v to_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o god_n indignation_n against_o we_o we_o must_v every_o one_o lay_v our_o hand_n upon_o our_o own_o breast_n and_o lament_v his_o own_o sin_n and_o acknowledge_v his_o own_o share_n in_o the_o
