all_o these_o to_o bring_v god_n down_o to_o a_o people_n but_o all_o these_o can_v keep_v god_n close_o to_o a_o people_n and_o because_o we_o be_v lose_v in_o general_n i_o have_v single_v forth_o

and_o now_o you_o have_v say_v the_o worst_a of_o he_o i_o will_v say_v but_o this_o more_o certain_o the_o rich_a man_n do_v not_o understand_v what_o they_o have_v swear_v and_o this_o be_v my_o

the_o pearl_n now_o in_o danger_n to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n by_o swine_n if_o they_o give_v not_o now_o like_o themselves_o in_o a_o proportion_n to_o that_o which_o god_n and_o his_o cause_n

than_o not_o with_o their_o life_n sure_a though_o the_o pearl_n be_v worthy_a the_o purchase_n at_o the_o high_a rate_n for_o we_o remember_v that_o a_o merchant_n sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v
