of_o love_n lest_o he_o be_v again_o endanger_v we_o shall_v with_o the_o man_n of_o david_n at_o the_o same_o verse_n say_v unto_o he_o thou_o shall_v go_v no_o more_o out_o with_o we_o to_o battle_n

we_o must_v be_v patient_n or_o agent_n agent_n when_o he_o be_v good_a and_o godly_a patient_n when_o he_o be_v tyrannous_a and_o wicked_a and_o then_o as_o s._n peter_n say_v 1_o pet._n 2.19_o it_o
