to_o reform_v it_o by_o begin_v a_o new_a world_n upon_o the_o only_a righteous_a family_n that_o be_v leave_v of_o all_o the_o last_o generation_n of_o the_o old_a for_o so_o god_n testify_v

of_o their_o sin_n have_v reach_v heaven_n and_o call_v loud_o for_o vengeance_n to_o be_v pour_v down_o upon_o they_o to_o express_v the_o wonderful_a patience_n of_o god_n towards_o such_o
