call_v it_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o as_o all_o the_o day_n of_o man_n go_v before_o be_v call_v their_o day_n because_o man_n watch_v in_o they_o and_o do_v whatsoever_o they_o will_v and_o god_n bear_v suffer_v endure_v expect_v and_o after_o a_o sort_n sleep_v &_o rest_v in_o they_o even_o so_o then_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v shine_v wherein_o he_o shall_v be_v continual_o wake_v &_o shall_v do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v and_o we_o whether_o we_o will_v or_o no_o must_v suffer_v and_o endure_v 8_o thou_o now_o do_v add_v sin_n unto_o sin_n and_o cease_v not_o to_o offend_v god_n daily_o &_o god_n be_v silent_a at_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o why_o so_o because_o this_o day_n be_v thy_o day_n but_o the_o day_n shall_v come_v believe_v i_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v come_v which_o shall_v bring_v a_o end_n to_o so_o long_a silence_n and_o wherein_o he_o will_v take_v vengeance_n of_o all_o the_o injury_n that_o have_v be_v do_v unto_o he_o 9_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o all_o eternity_n comprehend_v two_o day_n only_o the_o one_o of_o man_n the_o other_o of_o god_n in_o the_o one_o man_n shall_v watch_v and_o god_n shall_v sleep_v
