and_o so_o god_n do_v assure_v by_o fire_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n so_o god_n give_v evidence_n of_o acceptance_n when_o the_o first_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v on_o the_o altar_n in_o the_o

he_o be_v wont_a he_o be_v still_o as_o gracious_a as_o ever_o in_o assure_v his_o people_n of_o his_o acceptance_n now_o look_v what_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v by_o angel_n prophet_n or_o
