to_o take_v a_o certain_a people_n into_o covenant_n with_o himself_o more_o than_o other_o and_o second_o thou_o become_v mine_n that_o be_v i_o have_v separate_v thou_o for_o myself_o and_o take_v

that_o god_n love_v he_o and_o as_o god_n love_n be_v extraordinary_a to_o they_o more_o than_o to_o other_o people_n so_o their_o love_n again_o shall_v be_v reflect_v upon_o god_n in_o a_o more_o
