thus_o indeed_o be_v the_o prophet_n of_o old_a censure_v but_o when_o i_o thorough_o weigh_v all_o circumstance_n in_o a_o equal_a balance_n i_o dare_v not_o but_o conclude_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v they_o to_o speak_v all_o these_o word_n what_o they_o have_v speak_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n upon_o record_n and_o commend_v to_o we_o in_o print_n wherein_o we_o be_v impeach_v
