you_o that_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o a_o man_n only_o to_o search_v and_o try_v his_o way_n but_o he_o must_v also_o turn_v from_o they_o if_o he_o find_v they_o wrong_v and_o serious_o repent_v himself_o of_o they_o for_o therefore_o we_o search_v and_o try_v they_o that_o discern_v they_o to_o be_v evil_a we_o may_v forsake_v they_o the_o end_n of_o fish_v be_v not_o angle_v but_o

and_o and_o return_n to_o god_n therefore_o when_o the_o wise_a man_n have_v say_v 27._o ponder_v the_o path_n of_o thy_o foot_n he_o add_v immediate_o and_o let_v all_o thy_o way_n be_v order_v
