his_o month_n in_o a_o year_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o this_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v call_v twelve_o manner_n of_o fruit_n i_o do_v take_v the_o twelve_o manner_n of_o fruit_n here_o to_o be_v

into_o the_o pool_n of_o bethesda_n to_o trouble_v the_o water_n which_o as_o it_o be_v at_o certain_a season_n so_o he_o that_o in_o those_o season_n first_o step_v in_o he_o only_o be_v make_v

out_o before_o hand_n the_o number_n of_o his_o elect_n so_o also_o he_o have_v determine_v in_o his_o good_a 24_o pleasure_n the_o day_n of_o their_o bring_n in_o and_o will_v then_o have_v they_o

thither_o his_o bed_n and_o couch_v to_o rest_v there_o second_o as_o by_o the_o fruit_n of_o this_o tree_n be_v yield_v at_o certain_a season_n we_o may_v gather_v that_o there_o be_v certain_a season_n in_o which_o the_o word_n in_o a_o especial_a manner_n shall_v be_v bless_v and_o make_v successful_a to_o the_o salvation_n of_o many_o soul_n so_o again_o in_o that_o he_o say_v this_o
