that_o he_o will_v cleave_v that_o and_o open_v a_o fountain_n of_o water_n to_o he_o from_o thence_o so_o have_v god_n use_v this_o great_a parliamentary_a ordinance_n for_o the_o slay_n of_o many_o

shall_v steal_v its_o degree_n as_o therefore_o you_o do_v desire_n that_o no_o personal_a sin_n shall_v become_v national_a i_o beseech_v you_o in_o christ_n stead_n let_v the_o reformation_n be_v
