grow_v tall_a by_o far_a than_o the_o other_o so_o though_o thou_o be_v now_o but_o a_o child_n in_o grace_n to_o a_o great_a saint_n yet_o thou_o may_v be_v tall_a in_o grace_n one_o day_n than_o

there_o it_o be_v say_v of_o hezekiah_n that_o after_o he_o there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o among_o all_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n and_o in_o 2_o king_n 23._o 25._o there_o it_o be_v say_v of_o
