mighty_o unto_o the_o lord_n then_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o put_v our_o mouth_n in_o the_o dust_n if_o so_o be_v there_o may_v be_v hope_n then_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n for_o to_o bear_v our_o

for_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o a_o way_n of_o office_n preach_v the_o word_n by_o office_n and_o so_o the_o minister_n and_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o office_n they_o be_v call_v prophet_n in_o scripture_n but_o three_o yet_o more_o large_o prophecy_n be_v take_v for_o a_o declare_v and_o make_v know_v of_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n and_o so_o all_o

mark_v this_o their_o prophesy_v and_o witness-bearing_a seem_v to_o be_v all_o one_o i_o will_v give_v power_n unto_o my_o two_o witness_n and_o they_o shall_v prophesy_v and_o when_o they_o shall_v
