i_o shall_v speak_v only_o those_o that_o be_v compliant_a with_o the_o common_a reason_n and_o understanding_n of_o all_o sober_a person_n there_o be_v three_o way_n whereby_o a_o land_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v fill_v with_o sin_n 1._o when_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o land_n or_o nation_n be_v come_v to_o the_o full_a to_o the_o utmost_a measure_n that_o god_n have_v allot_v to_o they_o in_o his_o

away_o the_o cry_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n come_v up_o to_o god_n they_o have_v fill_v up_o their_o measure_n god_n send_v fire_n and_o brimstone_n to_o destroy_v they_o you_o shall_v not_o

till_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v turn_v away_o from_o they_o in_o this_o state_n god_n say_v pray_v not_o for_o this_o people_n my_o heart_n shall_v not_o be_v towards_o they_o until_o he_o have_v bring_v his_o judgement_n upon_o they_o though_o moses_n and_o samuel_n stand_v before_o i_o i_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o ay_o
