they_o cause_n to_o consider_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n without_o prejudice_n i_o say_v from_o all_o these_o circumstance_n we_o may_v gather_v this_o conclusion_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v

for_o rain_n and_o receive_v no_o answer_n from_o heaven_n they_o do_v conceive_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o they_o because_o the_o jew_n be_v suffer_v to_o live_v among_o they_o therefore_o in_o great_a rage_n with_o draw_v sword_n they_o go_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o threaten_v they_o that_o if_o within_o three_o day_n they_o do_v not_o obtain_v rain_n from_o heaven_n they_o shall_v all_o
