of_o this_o admonition_n the_o lord_n be_v fain_o to_o be_v very_o earnest_a and_o importunate_a with_o we_o before_o he_o can_v reclaim_v us._n so_o when_o god_n speak_v unto_o abraham_n he_o call_v

be_v his_o modest_a reprehension_n of_o marthaes_n immoderate_a care_n the_o other_o be_v his_o friendly_a defence_n of_o mary_n choice_n though_o martha_n be_v very_o careful_a to_o entertain_v
