judgement_n that_o befall_v they_o die_v at_o the_o apostle_n foot_n so_o see_v the_o sin_n of_o ahab_n oppress_v naboth_n which_o you_o may_v look_v at_o but_o as_o do_v a_o little_a wrong_n to_o a_o

so_o then_o to_o seek_v god_n face_n contain_v these_o three_o thing_n in_o it_o first_o to_o have_v his_o face_n reveal_v to_o you_o and_o to_o see_v he_o as_o a_o father_n 1_o to_o seek_v he_o as_o
