i_o the_o iniquity_n of_o these_o ninevite_n be_v as_o great_a as_o their_o city_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v overthrow_v sin_n be_v that_o which_o provoke_v almighty_a god_n both_o to_o execute_v and_o to_o threaten_v judgement_n which_o teach_v we_o all_o to_o fear_v the_o cause_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o effect_n to_o eschew_v evil_a
