true_o they_o have_v turn_v they_o from_o their_o evyll_n way_n and_o from_o their_o naughty_a devise_n the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v very_o clear_a i_o can_v not_o tell_v therefore_o how_o you_o go_v about_o by_o your_o word_n to_o make_v they_o dark_a it_o follow_v let_v we_o take_v our_o beginning_n out_o of_o jeremie_n which_o be_v a_o worthy_a prophet_n you_o can_v say_v none_o
