to_o heaven_n than_o the_o deep_a valley_n not_o that_o god_n hear_v a_o suppliant_a soon_o from_o a_o place_n of_o eminence_n but_o because_o there_o he_o be_v most_o sequester_v from_o the_o world_n

of_o god_n but_o lest_o this_o discourse_n may_v dishearten_v they_o a_o few_o day_n after_o he_o carry_v the_o most_o eminent_a of_o his_o domestic_n with_o he_o to_o the_o holy_a mountain_n there_o

the_o truth_n may_v be_v establish_v when_o in_o due_a time_n the_o world_n shall_v be_v acquaint_v with_o it_o as_o therefore_o moses_n leave_v the_o elder_n and_o the_o people_n at_o the_o bottom_n
