it_o be_v to_o judge_v by_o a_o law_n know_v by_o a_o know_a rule_n therefore_o god_n do_v publish_v his_o law_n to_o the_o ear_n of_o his_o own_o people_n and_o he_o publish_v it_o to_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o the_o people_n in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v a_o edition_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o every_o man_n and_o god_n will_v judge_v none_o but_o by_o a_o law_n at_o least_o
