three_o the_o godly_a their_o say_n and_o do_n for_o the_o first_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o scandal_n in_o either_o part_n of_o it_o whither_o the_o law_n or_o the_o gospel_n the_o law_n be_v

of_o god_n for_o man_n not_o be_v able_a to_o conceive_v the_o reason_n of_o they_o for_o god_n do_v not_o give_v a_o reason_n as_o job_n speak_v yet_o man_n think_v to_o measure_v they_o by_o the_o

when_o as_o yet_o the_o godly_a beside_o the_o evil_a in_o their_o life_n time_n have_v much_o bitterness_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o their_o death_n of_o all_o these_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n

they_o three_o god_n child_n in_o their_o practice_n be_v a_o eyesore_n and_o offence_n to_o the_o ungodly_a what_o ever_o they_o do_v or_o say_v they_o be_v not_o please_v neither_o johns_n

that_o the_o poor_a sheep_n if_o she_o drink_v must_v be_v count_v a_o disturber_n of_o the_o water_n thus_o ahab_n be_v offend_v with_o elias_n ahaziah_n and_o jehoram_n with_o elizeus_fw-la ahab_n
