with_o their_o enchantment_n and_o bring_v up_o frog_n upon_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n then_o pharaoh_n call_v for_o moses_n and_o aaron_n and_o say_v entreat_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o may_v take_v

god_n give_v they_o leave_v to_o bring_v they_o but_o they_o have_v neither_o leave_n nor_o power_n to_o take_v they_o away_o god_n use_v the_o devil_n sometime_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n but_o never_o to_o do_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n the_o bring_n of_o the_o frog_n be_v a_o judgement_n the_o take_n of_o they_o away_o be_v a_o mercy_n it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o devil_n to_o do_v that_o it_o be_v like_a enough_o that_o pharaoh_n supplicate_v god_n all_o will_v not_o do_v till_o pharaoh_n desire_v moses_n so_o that_o now_o when_o all_o be_v go_v by_o the_o prayer_n of_o moses_n he_o must_v needs_o know_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v the_o god_n that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o when_o eliah_n tell_v ahab_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o rain_n in_o israel_n but_o
