thou_o to_o go_v out_o thyself_o in_o person_n and_o command_v they_o as_o general_n and_o so_o thou_o thyself_o will_v have_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o victory_n and_o thy_o valour_n and_o conduct_n will_v be_v renown_v in_o the_o world_n and_o when_o thou_o have_v get_v such_o a_o vast_a army_n under_o thy_o command_n fear_v not_o we_o shall_v find_v thy_o father_n out_o where_o ever_o he_o be_v for_o as_o dew_v when_o it_o fall_v overspread_v the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n so_o we_o shall_v overspread_v the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a country_n and_o if_o he_o be_v any_o where_o in_o the_o field_n we_o shall_v light_v upon_o he_o and_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o that_o be_v with_o he_o shall_v escape_v we_o and_o if_o he_o be_v flee_v into_o any_o city_n we_o will_v bring_v
