for_o if_o i_o shall_v deny_v its_o testimony_n i_o shall_v deny_v my_o own_o life_n and_o i_o say_v i_o own_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a declaration_n of_o that_o word_n that_o be_v in_o they_o that_o speak_v it_o forth_o and_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o they_o and_o in_o they_o that_o speak_v it_o forth_o but_o for_o ungodly_a and_o unholy_a man_n to_o talk_v of_o their_o word_n and_o not_o live_v in_o their_o life_n be_v thief_n that_o steal_v the_o word_n from_o their_o neighbour_n and_o some_o of_o the_o people_n say_v be_v it_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o they_o and_o not_o to_o we_o and_o this_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o then_o i_o instance_a some_o scripture_n to_o they_o how_o that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o the_o true_a prophet_n and_o they_o speak_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o they_o have_v receive_v it_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o after_o it_o be_v speak_v forth_o the_o false_a prophet_n steal_v
